Laparoscopic orchiopexy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Cryptorchidism is a common finding in newborn males, with 20-30% of them exhibiting a non-palpable testis. Over time laparoscopy has become the gold standard for the diagnosis of non-palpable testis as well as treatment of intra-abdominal testis. This chapter describes the contemporary surgical techniques for laparoscopic orchiopexy, with emphasis on intra-operative findings. In addition, it discusses testicular vascular supply and how it impacts surgical decision making with regards to a single or staged surgery, as well as how to manage a long looping vas deferens. Newer techniques are reviewed as well as common complications, pitfalls, and long-term outcomes as described in the literature.
