Long-Term Outcomes of Retractile Testis

PURPOSE Retractile testis is considered to be a variant of normal testis in prepubertal boys. There is no agreed-upon management of retractile testis. The aim of this study was to provide data on the long-term outcomes of patients with retractile testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed the medical record of 43 boys who were referred for suspected undescended or retra...

The efficacy of human chorionic gonadotropin in retractile testis.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of hCG therapy on retractile testis in various testicular locations and age groups. SETTING AND DESIGN This study comprised 123 boys whose diagnosis were retractile testis with scrotal base, high scrotal and superficial inguinal localizations with an average age of 4,2 (1-8) years. METHODS 123 boys with retractile testes were given a total dose of 9000 hC...

Construction of Retractile Proof Structures

In this work we present a paradigm of focusing proof search based on an incremental construction of retractile (i.e, correct or sequentializable) proof structures of the pure (units free) multiplicative and additive fragment of linear logic. The correctness of proof construction steps (or expansion steps) is ensured by means of a system of graph retraction rules; this graph rewriting system is ...

Do retractile testes have anatomical anomalies?

OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence of anatomical anomalies in patients with retractile testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied prospectively 20 patients (28 testes) with truly retractile testis and compared them with 25 human fetuses (50 testes) with testis in scrotal position. We analyzed the relations among the testis, epididymis and patency of the processus vaginalis (PV). To analyze the ...
