ABSTRACT

Gunshot wound is rare on the testicles and involves the patient’s reproductive function. The authors report a case of open gunshot wound trauma to the testicles in a 45-year-old patient with no particular information, except, living with two women and eight children. Emergency sharing noted a fracture of the right testicle with damage of the cord components. After the surgery, the left testicle was necrotic, so a left orchiectomy was performed. The aftermaths of this second surgery were simple. However, the management of this hunting accident resulted in castration, which poses the problem of the patient’s sexuality.
