ABSTRACT
@#In the Philippines, data on testicular rupture due to a firecracker-related accident is sparse, and to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is only one published report in international literature on firework-related genitourinary injury. Most published data on testicular rupture are associated with blunt trauma, which are mostly sports-related. The objectives of this clinical case report were to describe a rare case of a firecracker-related injury to the groin, and to discuss the approach to its evaluation and management.A 13-year-old male presenting with scrotal avulsion following a blast injury from a firecracker to his groin is described. After confirmation of right testicular rupture by ultrasonography, the patient underwent scrotal exploration and right testicular repair. The patient had an uneventful recovery and he was discharged on the second post-operative day. This case report highlights the importance of ultrasonography and early surgical exploration for a successful testicular salvage.
