Lost testicle due to

6. I can't imagine how painful.

Inguinal hernia surgeries are probably one of the more common things I deal with, and risk to the testicle is always something that should be addressed with the patient preoperatively and suspected after surgery if the patient has severe testicular pain. In my career, I've lost one testicle, and that was a huge strangulated hernia and the hernia sac had torsed the vessels before we even got in to the case.
