Abstract

Testicular replantation represents a unique circumstance. There are very few reports documenting their experience with testicle replantation and to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case that has been reported in the peer-reviewed literature following a wrong site surgery. Therefore, we detail our technique and outcome when faced with such a rare event. In addition we review the literature, in order to compare and report the experience of others. This case highlights the value of applied microsurgical knowledge and the importance of cross-disciplinary efforts to improve patient outcomes.
