Relationship between Undescended Testis Position and Prevalence of Testicular Appendices, Epididymal Anomalies, and Patency of Processus Vaginalis

Methods We studied 85 patients (108 testes) with cryptorchidism and compared the features with those of 15 fetuses (30 testes) with scrotal testes. W...

متن کاملSingle scrotal-incision orchidopexy for palpable undescended testis in children
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the single scrotal-incision orchidopexy (SSIO) technique in patients with an undescended testis palpable in the inguinal canal or below the external inguinal ring.
