[PP-217]Testicular And Scrotum Injuries: Our Last Five Years ExperienceRahmi̇ Aslan, Recep Eryılmaz, Kerem Taken, Murat Demi̇r, Şeyhmuz ArazOBJECTIVES: Because the testes are located outside the abdomen, they are more susceptible to trauma than other urogenital organs. In this study, it was aimed to emphasize the clinical features of scrotal and testicular injuries. MATERIALS-METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 94 patients with scrotum and testicular injuries who were admitted to our clinic between 2011-2016. All patients were evaluated by scrotal doppler ultrasonography and patients with major injuries were operated on. RESULTS: The mean age of 94 patients with testicular or scrotum injury was 24.8 (± 14.8) years. The mean hospital stay was 1.9 (± 3.1) days. Of these, 18 (19.1%) were gunshot injuries, 28 (29.8%) were falling, 21 were sports injuries (22%), 6 (6.4% Vehicle traffic accidents, 8 (8.5%) stabbing, 7 (7.4%) other reasons. Two of these patients had vas deferens injury. Local intervention was performed in 44 (46.8%) patients while 20 (21.2%) of the patients were operated on,the other 30 (31%) patients were treated conservatively. Orchiectomy was performed in 14 (70%) of 20 operated patients, and testicular repair was performed in 4 (20%) patients Vasovasostomosis was performed in 2 patients (10%) with vas deferens injuries. The testis and scrotum injury were accompanied by 6 pelvic fractures, 4 femur fractures, 4 humerus fractures, 4 head injuries, and 6 thorax injuries. None of the patients included in my study were discharged. CONCLUSION: There are not enough clinical studies in our country regarding the testicular and scrotum injuries. We think that clinics should share the data about trauma. Testis And Scrotum Injury Etiology
