We believe it is the only testicular transplant as a whole organ of testicle ever made. It was done on November 1978. METHODS: A cadaveric testicle was transplanted into a 21-year old patient who had lost both testicles three years before due a non-specific infectious process. According to his Psychiatric evaluation, ever since, he suffered from grave obsessional neurosis. The same technique developed by Prof. JMa Gil-Vernet in 1970 experimentally was used. Warm and cold isquemia on testicular parenquima were investigated, the various methods of preservation of the organ, the gonadotrophic response was studied as well as different immune suppressant agents used in different dosages. RESULTS: The testicle was rejected three weeks later probably due to the host versus graft response in spite of all the ultimate knowledge available at that time as well as immunosupressant agents of the period. CONCLUSIONS: The great advances in histocompatibility and immunosuppression of today, combined with this detailed description of the technique for such a complex organ transplantation, will deliver improved results in the very special and selected case.
