Background. Abdominoscrotal sonogram is often used in boys with a nonpalpable testis to determine the presence of the testis. We describe our experience with the use of ultrasonography in boys with a nonpalpable testis. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of boys aged less than 14 years, who underwent preoperative ultrasonography for an impalpable undescended testis (IUDT) ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether in congenital unilateral cryptorchidism the growth of a spontaneously descended testis is normal, compared with the contralateral scrotal testis or similar to the growth of testes that failed to descend spontaneously and later underwent orchidopexy. METHODS: Ninety-one boys with congenital unilateral cryptorchidism with later spontaneous descent of the initiall...

PURPOSE To evaluate testicular function in men with previously acquired undescended testes (AUDT) in whom spontaneous descent was awaited until puberty followed by orchiopexy in case of nondescent. METHODS Andrological evaluation including paternity, scrotal ultrasound, reproductive hormones, and semen analysis was performed in three groups: men with AUDT, healthy controls, and men with previ...

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...

Background. Undescended testis is one of the most common urological problems in children, affecting about 1% of boys at age of 1 year. Of these, about 20% have a nonpalpable testis with a very high probability that the testis is absent. This may have a significant impact on the possibility of malignancy in these testes, as well as on the later fertility of these subjects. Methods. We retrospect...

OBJECTIVE The cryptorchidism is a risk factor for testicular cancer and is associated with cancer in the contraleteral testicle. The mechanism that leads to an increased risk of causes in a cryptorchid testis is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 25 patients of 20-years old for maldescended testicles we practiced orchiectomy in 22 testicles and orchiopexy in 7 testicles. The time pati...

In both groups, testicular biopsies were performed during orchiopexy. Each specimen was fixed in Bouin’s solution and processed for paraffin embedding. The sections were stained with hematoxylin–eosin and examined under 300 magnifications. Observed fertility indexes were calculated by counting the number of spermatogonia per tubule in 50 tubules examined at 300 magnifications and averaging the ...
