An unusual etiology of testicular avulsion: A case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Beni Mellal, Morocco.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Dog bites are a common presentation in emergency departments. However, scrotal injuries with complete testicular avulsion are exceedingly rare.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a dog bite to the scrotum with complete detachment of the testis and right hemiscrotum in an intoxicated 48-year-old man, who was treated with wound irrigation, debridement, antibiotic prophylaxis, tetanus and rabies vaccination, and a covering scrotoplasty.

Discussion: Testicular avulsion following a dog bite to the scrotum is a urologic emergency. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach to address bleeding control, testicular function preservation, infection prevention, and scrotal reconstruction.

Conclusion: Dog bites to the scrotum can lead to serious and irreversible complications, underscoring the need for every urologist to be aware and prepared to manage such injuries.
