TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Testicular trauma JO - Journal of urology A1 - Cass, A. S. SP - 299 EP - 300 VL - 129 IS - 2 N2 - The incidence of rupture in cases of blunt testicular trauma is 48 per cent. Conservative management in cases of contusion or rupture of the testis has resulted in a 45 per cent failure rate and a 45 per cent orchiectomy rate when delayed exploration was required. Early exploration of patients with testicular trauma has resulted in only a 9 per cent orchiectomy rate, a shortened hospital stay, a greatly reduced period of disability and a faster return to normal activity.
