“…In international comparison of therapeutic care for infant boys with cryptorchidism, Germany holds an average position (Fig. [; S1–S6, S9–S11, S13 in Data S1]). Notably, the proportion of reliable data on the timing of surgery for cryptorchidism is generally small.…”

“…The corresponding figures for the first year of life range from 5% to 18% . In particular, a recent study from Australia impresses the international community; based on a total of 4 980 patients examined between 2001 and 2011, it documented that 33% of affected infant boys underwent surgery up to the end of the first year of life . Similarly, a study from Saudi Arabia ( n = 345) reported an orchidopexy rate of 29% within the first year of life for the period 1998–2008 .…”

“…It is the most common anomaly in boys, encountered in about 2-8% of full-term and 33% of preterm boys [1]. Even though UDT incidence decreases to 1-2% by 3 to 6 months of age due to spontaneous descent, the persistent UDT cases require surgical correction due to the risk of infertility or developing tumors [1][2][3]. A recent general recommendation for the timing of UDT orchiopexy is within the first 18 months of age to prevent early histologic change [3].…”

Testicular volume and elasticity changes in young children with undescended testes

Aims: To evaluate the differences and changes of testicular volume and elasticity in normal (NL) testes and undescended testes (UDTs) of children using shear wave elastography (SWE).Materials and methods: Testicular ultrasound images from children younger than 60 months old were retrospectively reviewed. Testicular volumes and elasticities were compared between the UDT group and NL group. In patients with unilateral UDT (uUDT), we also compared the values between uUDT and contralateral grossly normal (CGN) testis groups.Results: There were 25 UDTs including 4 bilateral in the UDT groupand 54 normal testes in the NL group. While testicular volume was significantly smaller in UDT (vs. NL) and uUDT (vs. CGN) groups, the elasticity was not different. Testicular volume was positively correlated with age in both NL (r=0.474) and CGN (r=0.729) groups (p<0.001), while there was no correlation in the UDT group. Testicular stiffness showed negative correlation with age in the NL group (r=-0.390, p=0.004) and positive correlation in the UDT group (r=0.426, p=0.034).Conclusions: Instead of increasing volume and decreasing stiffness of normal testes during development of the early 60 months, UDTsexhibited smaller volume and increasing stiffness. The CGN testes of uUDT patients showed increasing volume without stiffness change.

Background: Cryptorchidism is simply defined as the absence of one or both testes from the scrotum. It is the most common birth defect of the male genitalia. The testis may be located intra-abdominal or inguinal. This article mainly deals with embryology, etiology, anatomy and incidence types of cryptorchidism in Tumakuru rural district.Methods: This study was interdepartmental and prospective, consisting of 66 cases conducted at the Department of Pediatric Surgery and Anatomy and the period of study was from April 2013- March 2017. Cryptorchidism has been classified into 1) Intra-abdominal, 2) Inguinal, 3) Ectopic testis (perineum).Results: Out of 66 cases, testis in inguinal canal is the most common incidence followed by the intra-abdominal and Ectopic testis. Least found was ectopic and torsion in the inguinal canal. Complications are torsion and vanishing testis.Conclusions: This condition is repairable in a vast majority of cases. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention have to be carried out to correct this defect.
