Abstract
Testicular biopsy is associated with a low burden of clinically significant complications. However, scrotal imaging discloses intratesticular abnormalities in a high proportion of cases one week after the biopsy. These changes represent focal haematoma, oedema or circumscript injury to vascular supply. Most of these lesions resolve with time and are thus not significant, clinically. Evidently, testicular biopsy is a safe procedure provided the vascular anatomy of the testis is respected upon surgery.
