13 year old boy hospitalized after testicle rupture while playing soccer

On January 10, Dr. Vu Xuan Hoan, Department of Urology, National Children's Hospital, said that doctors here had just performed emergency surgery on a 13-year-old boy named NMT in a state of complex trauma to his "little guy".

According to the patient’s family, while T. was playing soccer with his friends, he was suddenly kicked in the private area. After the accident, his family took him to the local hospital for emergency treatment and then transferred him to the National Children’s Hospital for further surgery.

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 left testicle's neurovascular bundle 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 lasted 1.5 hours. The patient is now awake, moving well, the swelling in her private area has gone down and she has been discharged.

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