Abstract

Testicular replantation represents a unique circumstance. There are very few reports documenting their experience with testicle replantation and to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case that has been reported in the peer-reviewed literature following a wrong site surgery. Therefore, we detail our technique and outcome when faced with such a rare event. In addition we review the literature, in order to compare and report the experience of others. This case highlights the value of applied microsurgical knowledge and the importance of cross-disciplinary efforts to improve patient outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
