“…Ward et al compared the ultrasonographic appearance of the human testis (n = 22) that had suture fixation to those that had sutureless dartos pouch fixation [73]. Sonography revealed no significant parenchymal changes in the sutured group with 14% having an area of subtunical hypoechogenicity and 32% having tunica albuginea calcifications.…”

We critically analysed the factors known to influence the fertility potential after orchidopexy in children. A comprehensive literature review of all publications in the English language listed in Medline using the words cryptorchidism, undescended testis, orchidopexy, fertility, semen analysis and surgery from 1970 to 2005. In unilateral ectopic, canalicular and emergent testes, as long as the surgery is carried out in early childhood, fertility outcome is good (>90%). The majority of the bilateral abdominal testes are infertile. While unilateral abdominal testes and unilateral absent or vanishing testes have favourable fertility potential, quantification has proven difficult. Despite multiple studies, fertility in crypt orchid tests is still an uncertain issue. Hormonal treatment in conjunction with early surgical correction has not been fully explored. We recommend orchidopexy soon after 6-7 months of age, corrected for term, to maximise the future fertility potential.

In 1997 a calcified object was recovered from the pelvic region of an adult male excavated from an ancient cemetery in Aqaba, Jordan. The cemetery (n ¼ 48) dates to the middle 4th to early 5th century AD and is associated with the Byzantine-period marine trading centre of Aila located on the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. The oblong calcification consisted of linearly aligned tubules within a thin shell. Twenty-eight conditions potentially resulting in calcification within the pelvic region were considered. Of these, five were retained as possible diagnoses due to the object's location and size and the presence of a thin shell and fully calcified tubules. In the end, the object appears to be a calcified, but unidentified, parasite.
