We present a case of bilateral dislocated testes after a traffic accident that was treated via orchidopexy one week later. No testicular complications had occurred by the time of the follow-up visit. Generally, surgery is often postponed owing to a late diagnosis or another major organ injury, and the adequate timing of surgery is still under debate. We performed a review of past cases, which showed similar testicular outcomes irrespective of surgical timing. Delayed intervention may be a feasible decision after a patient\u2019s hemodynamic status is stable for surgery. To prevent delayed diagnosis, scrotal examination should not be overlooked in any patients presenting with pelvic trauma to the emergency department.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59050892","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]],"date-time":"2023-05-08T04:04:48Z","timestamp":1683518688000},"page":"892","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Rare and Easily Overlooked Case of Bilateral Traumatic Testicular Dislocation and an Alternative Viewpoint on Delayed Management"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8345-7046","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ming-Wei","family":"Hsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, China Medical University and Hospital, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Po-Fan","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, China Medical University and Hospital, Taichung 404, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li-Hsien","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, China Medical University and Hospital, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"7162351","article-title":"Bilateral traumatic testicular dislocation","volume":"2018","author":"Carvalho","year":"2018","journal-title":"Case Rep.
