A cross-sectional study of cryptorchidism in children: testicular volume and hormonal function at 18 years of age

Abstract: Purpose To evaluate the relationship between unilateral or bilateral criptorchidism, patient age, primary location of the gonad and modality of treatment with testicular volume and hormonal status at 18 years in patients diagnosed and treated for cryptorchidism during childhood.Materials and Methods Testicular volume, LH, FSH, and testosterone were evaluated in 143 young men at 18 years treated in childhood for unilateral (n=103) or bilateral (n=40) cryptorchidism.Results Unilateral cryptorchidism: Location of… Show more

“…Moreover, all studied boys were prepubertal. Similar results were noted by Varela-Cives et al (2015), who evaluated TV in 18-year-old patients treated in childhood for unilateral or bilateral UDT. The initial median volume of the unilateral undescended testis before treatment was significantly lower in all examined groups (median TAI 13-33.4%).…”

“…The change in TV peaked 9 to 12 months after treatment. Similar results were noted by Varela-Cives et al (2015), who evaluated TV in 18-year-old patients treated in childhood for unilateral or bilateral UDT. The volume of the unilaterally undescended testis was significantly higher in patients who had undergone hCG treatment compared to those who had been operated on after failure of hormonal therapy and those who had undergone primary surgery.…”
