Polyorchidism is a very rare genitourinary anomaly defined with the presence of more than two testicles. Polyorchidism is associated up to 40% with undescended testicles. The present report is about an incidentally detected triorchidism case with unilateral, one atrophic undescended double testicles. A 4-year-old child, diagnosed with undescended left testicle revealed during orchiopexy polyorc...

The best mode of undescended testis (UDT) treatment remains controversial. However, knowledge gained from randomized controlled studies and meta-analyses allowed different groups of researchers to set out guidelines on management of patients with UDT. The authors reviewed recent literature and came to the following conclusions: (1) Hormonal treatment is not recommended, considering both the imm...

INTRODUCTION Transverse aberrant testicular maldescent is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by the migration of one testicle towards the opposite inguinal canal. Mostly such cases are reported in children and they are very rarely seen in adults. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a case of a 24year old male patient with left reducible indirect inguinal hernia with absence of test...

Abstract Background Undescended testis is one of the most common paediatric surgical diagnoses. A lot research has been done to date, standardise management intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal undescended testis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact on testicular function of the surgical approach used to treat testicular torsion. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventeen males operated on for testicular torsion at a median age of 14 years were investigated. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone and inhibin B as well as testicular volume were measured early (median 36 days) and/or late (median 1.1 ye...

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 ...
