“…Many procedures can be used (6,7,10,22). Among them, laparoscopy is very useful for performing a two-step Fowler-Stephens procedure (1,3,18), In this series, twenty-three testes underwent a two-step orchiopexy with laparoscopic ligation of the spermatic vessels. Fifteen children were controlled six months or more after the second step, Fourteen testes were in the scrotum and had a normal consistency and size (93 %) while one was atrophic, Lastly, one hundred and ten cases (forty-seven per cent of this group) could benefit from laparoscopy.…”

The value of laparoscopy in managing the impalpable testis remains controversial. Several reports have been published on this topic but series are usually short and rather heterogeneous in their presentation, so that critical analysis is not easy to perform. Therefore, the Groupe d'Etude en Coeliochirurgie Infantile started a multicentric prospective study in May 1991 with two objectives: what are the laparoscopic findings and what are the correlations between laparoscopy and surgery? In addition, this study tried to estimate the therapeutic implications. Two hundred and one boys underwent laparoscopy accounting for two hundred and thirty-two impalpable testis. Laparoscopic findings were mainly of three types: intra-abdominal testis (36%), abdominal blind ending cord structures (14%) and cord structures entering the deep inguinal ring (49%); rarely, there was absence of testis and cord structures (1%). Crossed testicular ectopia was not found in this series. One hundred and eighty-seven impalpable testis were operated on to control laparoscopic findings and correlations laparoscopy-surgery were excellent provided that laparoscopic exploration could be entirely performed in good conditions. Moreover, it could be evaluated that forty-seven per cent of impalpable testes could take advantage of laparoscopy.

“…3, 4), including a bilateral exploration (the incision is easily extended into a Pfannenstiel). In our opinion, the only real advantage of laparoscopy is that it enables the surgeon to perform a two-stage Fowler-Stephens operation with laparoscopic clip-ligation of the spermatic vessels as first stage [26][27][28], In this event, the testicle can be brought down to the scro- …”

“…EGT ise inmemiş testisler içerisinde %12-24 oranında rapor edilmiştir (4,5) . EGT'te ilk defa yapılan laparoskopi deneyiminden sonra laparoskopi giderek daha çok ön plana çıkmıştır (6)(7)(8) . Radyolojik görüntüleme ve ultrasonografi EGT'lerde kullanılabilir, ancak oldukça sınırlı sayıda hastada yarar sağlayabilmektedir (9) .…”

Laparoskopi bulgusuna göre hastalar Vanishing testisi olanlar (n=23), aşağı karın içi yerleşimli (iç halkaya 2 cm'den yakında olanlar) (n=5), yüksek karın içi yerleşimli (iç halkaya 2 cm'den uzakta) olanlar (n=3) olarak 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Aşağı karın içi yerleşimli 5 testise inguinal orkidopeksi yapılmıştır. Yüksek karın içi yerleşimli 2 hastaya Fowler Stephens 1 ve kros testiküler ektopi olan diğerine de Laparoskopik orkidopeksi ameliyatı yapılmıştır. Vanishing testisi olan hastaların patoloji sonuçlarının incelenmesinde 1 biopside atrofik testis tubul yapısı görülmüş, 3 biopside epididimal dokuya, 3 biopside duktus yapısına ve 2 biopside de hem duktus hem de epididimal dokuya rastlanılmıştır. Bunun dışındaki 14 biopside testis, epididim ya da duktus dokusuna rastlanılmamıştır. Sonuç: Laparoskopik ektopik testis araştırılması, EGT'i olan çocuklarda laparotomi yapılan hasta sayısını azaltmaktadır, özellikle kros testiküler ektopi gibi bir tanının kolaylıkla konulmasını ve tedavisini sağlamaktadır. Laparoskopik ektopik testis araştırılması hem tanısal bir yöntem ve hem de terapötik olarak orkidopeksi yapılabilecek bir yöntemdir.
