“…Ideally, these serial measurements of TVs should be compared to data of growth charts, developed by follow‐up of TV in healthy patients in a prospective, longitudinal follow‐up study. Although, some testicular growth charts are already available , these have all been developed by means of a cross‐sectional observational study design and therefore have limited clinical value in the follow‐up of TV growth. In these studies, TV was either measured by orchidometer and/or scrotal US .…”

Testicular asymmetry in healthy adolescent boys

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Testicular asymmetry, with a smaller left testis, was seen in a considerable number of healthy adolescents. One out of five adolescents had a smaller left testis and met one of the threshold values currently used in varicocoele management. Therefore, in left-sided unilateral inguinoscrotal pathology, a smaller ipsilateral testis in combination with a TAI of >20% and/or TVD of >2 mL requires careful interpretation and serial measurements of TV should always be performed. Furthermore, this study provides reference values for TV, TVD and TAI according to TSG and TSP for a healthy adolescent population.

“…2-16 years of age. At Medical Center Alkmaar, we included 106 patients with 138 acquired UDT, who had undergone ORP (1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999) and at the Juliana Children's Hospital in The Hague we included 155 patients, with 181 acquired UDT, who had undergone ORP (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009) (Meij-de Vries et al, 2012;van der Plas et al, 2013b). The cohort from Medical Center Alkmaar is from an earlier period (1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999) because after this period pre-pubertal surgical intervention was actively withheld in boys with acquired UDT in this hospital, in accordance with the Dutch consensus on non-scrotal testes (de Muinck Keizer-Schrama, 1987).…”

Testicular microlithiasis in acquired undescended testis after orchidopexy at diagnosis

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SUMMARYThe aim of this study was to observe the prevalence of testicular microlithiasis (TM) in surgically corrected acquired undescended testis (UDT). The prevalence of TM was assessed by ultrasound. Boys and young men who had undergone orchidopexy (ORP) for acquired UDT in mid or late childhood were observed to study the long-term testicular volume. During this examination, the presence or absence of TM was also assessed. TM was defined as echogenic foci without shadowing within the testis parenchyma. We included 106 patients who had undergone ORP at the Medical Center Alkmaar (1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999) and 155 patients who had undergone ORP at the Juliana Children's Hospital (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009). The majority of patients were white, Caucasian (82%). The median age at followup, 25.8 years (range 14.0-31.6 years) was higher in Medical Center Alkmaar than in Juliana Children's Hospital 13.4 years (range 5.1-26.6 years). From 2009 to 2011, these 261 patients (median age 18.9 years) underwent an ultrasound examination. Median follow-up after ORP was 11.3 years (range 1.4-23.5 years); age at ORP ranged from 2.1 to 16.2 years, with a median of 8.5 years. TM was found in 17 (6.5%) patients (median age at follow-up 20.4 years; range 11-28). No significant association was found with the incidence of TM and the operated testis, the age at ORP or the racial variance (p > 0.05). ORP at diagnosis for acquired UDT is associated with a 6.5% prevalence of TM in boys and young adults.

“…Some endocrinology textbooks advocate the use of a cut-off point of 25 mm in testicular length (11,12). There are few cross-sectional studies on long-term testicular growth among boys with congenital and acquired cryptorchidism (13)(14)(15)(16) and only one longitudinal study on testicular growth in boys with congenital cryptorchidism during early childhood (17)(18)(19). However, to our knowledge, there are no published prospective longitudinal studies on testicular growth during pubertal transition among boys with a history of congenital cryptorchidism.…”

Long-Term Testicular Volume After Orchiopexy at Diagnosis of Acquired Undescended Testis

Abstract: The long-term volumes at diagnosis of acquired undescended testes after orchiopexy were significantly less than the normative values at all ages. In unilateral cases the volumes were also significantly less compared to the contralateral testes.
