## TL;DR

A rare case of testicular luxation due to scrotal trauma is presented, highlighting the need for urgent surgical care to prevent complications.

## Contribution

The paper reports a rare clinical case of testicular luxation following scrotal trauma with successful surgical management.

## Key findings

- Testicular luxation occurred after a straddle injury from a fall.
- Urgent surgical intervention preserved the gonadal unit and prevented complications.
- Postoperative care with antibiotics and hospitalization was critical for recovery.

## Abstract

Testicular luxation is a rare consequence of scrotal trauma, with limited documentation in the literature. We present the case of a 54-year-old patient who presented with a straddle injury following a fall from a horse, resulting in laceration of the left scrotum and complete luxation of the testicle and spermatic cord. The patient required urgent surgical intervention to perform wound debridement, left orchidopexy, and scrotum reconstruction, followed by intravenous antibiotics and postoperative hospital care. This management resulted in preserving the gonadal unit and preventing acute or long-term complications. This case highlights the importance of quick access to urgent urological surgical management for this rare pathology. It emphasizes the importance of subsequent care to avoid potential complications, including testicular loss.
