Clinical Outcomes of Orchiopexy for Undescended Testes in Syndromic Patients with Developmental Delay, Genetic Syndromes, and Congenital Anomalies

Scrotal incision orchiopexy for undescended testes with or without a patent processus vaginalis.

PURPOSE Bianchi and Squire first described scrotal incision orchiopexy as an alternative to the traditional inguinal approach in the 1980s. The goal of this study was to review our series of scrotal orchiopexies to evaluate operative times, success rates and complications in patients with and without a patent processus vaginalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 121 scrotal incision orchiopex...
