This was a medical case where a 23-year old had an accident in a factory and had his hand, testicles, scrotum and skin of the penis all ripped off. They were successful in putting the testicles back. Lots of interesting medical information on the viability of reattachment.

It is a scanned PDF, so I can't copy the text here ... sorry. Just follow the link and click on each scanned page.
Also, the pictures in the scan aren't good quality, but better versions are also given after. They show the guy's severed testicles, scrotum and penis skin all just lying on the operating table.

Re: Case of reattachment of testicles
All the more amazing is that this replantation surgery was carried out in the 1930's!

Re: Case of reattachment of testicles
Ha, didn't think of it like that. But I guess we now need a forum topic for reversing castration and surgical reattachment!
Imagine in the future where we can regrow organs from stem cells or whatever ... you could experience surgical nullification, get it all reattached, then get it all cut off again. Masochism will get a whole new dimension of repeated extreme modification!
