Sports doctor Nikita Karlitsky, in a conversation with a correspondent, cited the reason for the possible amputation of the Russian tennis player’s testicle. Andrei Rublev .
At a press conference on Thursday, Rublev said he was about to undergo surgery to amputate his testicles.
— A very unusual story. I’ve never seen this before. We discussed with colleagues and came to the conclusion that there was most likely a torsion of the epididymis, and it is extremely unlikely that there was a torsion of the testicle itself. This very rarely happens under load.
In such a situation, the blood supply to the testicle or part of it is disrupted and necrosis (gangrene) occurs, which naturally requires removal of the dead organ.
But then the doctors assessed the viability of the tissue during the operation and decided not to remove it,” Karlitsky told .
Rublev reached the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 tournament in Stockholm, Sweden. Rublev will compete with Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka to reach the semi-finals of the competition.
