Bilateral testicular injuries are rare. However, the incidence of these injuries has been increasing in wartime. We describe the case of gunshot wound of the both testicle caused by high velocity bullets. The patient was managed by surgical exploration, debridement and repaired of both testis using tunica vaginalis. During the follow up, the left testis was not viable and there was a need for orchiectomy; in a follow-up of 4 months, ultrasonography showed a viable right testis with minimal atrophic change and the patient reported to have normal erection with borderline hormonal function. We describe this case of bilateral testicular rupture, which was repaired using tunica vaginalis as graft, with attention to the management and outcome of this injury process.
双侧睾丸损伤较为罕见。然而,这类损伤的发生率在战争时期有所增加。我们描述了一例由高速子弹引起的双侧睾丸枪伤病例。该患者接受了手术探查、清创和双侧睾丸用鞘膜修复治疗。随访时,左侧睾丸无活力,需要进行睾丸切除术;在 4 个月的随访中,超声显示右侧睾丸有活力,仅有轻微萎缩改变,患者报告勃起功能正常,激素功能接近正常。我们描述了这例使用鞘膜作为移植物修复双侧睾丸破裂的病例,重点介绍了这种损伤过程的处理和结果。
