Fertility preservation after bilateral severe testicular trauma

Testicular trauma is a frequent acquired cause of infertility; being accidents, work injuries and sport activities that are the most common causes of testicular traumas. [1],[2] Strangely, the issue of management of serious testicular trauma and fertility preservation has not been studied extensively before, existing only sporadic reports in international literature. Besides, no guidelines exist on fertility preservation in cases of important scrotal trauma when injury may result in irreparable damage to all testicular tissue (torsion of a solitary testis, bilateral synchronous testicular torsion, and severe bilateral scrotal trauma). [3] The present case report describes the presentation of a young patient who experienced a motorbike accident with an irreparable damage to all testicular tissue in which preservation of fertility through immediate postoperative sperm cryopreservation was performed.
