The patient was admitted to the hospital with left testicle swelling, bruising, and hematoma in the scrotum. Ultrasound results showed that the patient's left testicle was not perfused with blood and had no pulse signal, indicating the need for emergency surgery.

During the surgery, the doctors found that half of the neurovascular bundle of the left testicle was ruptured, but the parenchyma was still well perfused. The surgical team decided to remove the hematoma, stop the bleeding, and preserve the child's testicle.

The surgery took 1.5 hours. The patient is now awake, active, has no swelling in the genital area, and has been discharged from the hospital.

Doctor Hoan recommends that when playing sports , children need to protect their "little guy" from unfortunate accidents that affect the quality of life. When experiencing an injury in the genital area, they should go to a reputable andrology facility for timely examination and treatment.
