Traumatic hematocele: association with rupture of the testicle.
Ten patients with hematoceles associated with blunt trauma have been seen during the last 4 years. In 80 per cent of the cases the hematocele was caused by rupture of the testicle. Prompt early exploration, adequate débridement, primary repair of the tunical laceration and Penrose drainage resulted in a salvage rate of 75 per cent.
