Dear Ruheen We can perform laparoscopic orchiopexy for your brother. In a laparoscopic approach, we use an instrument that looks like a small telescope with a light attached in order to see inside the groin or the abdominal cavity through a much smaller incision. In case of your brother if we are able to find the functional testicle, we may then proceed directly to perform an orchiopexy. Actually the surgery for undescended testes of brother should be done much before. Orchiopexy is most likely to be successful in children when the undescended testicle is relatively close to the scrotum. The rate of failure for orchiopexy performed as a treatment for cryptorchidism is 8% if the testicle lies just above the scrotum; 10 |

Dear Ruheen The management of the undescended testis in the adult patient presents problems in terms of locating the impalpable gonad, the risk of malignancy and prognosis with regard to fertility. We can perform laparoscopic orchiopexy for your brother. In a laparoscopic approach, we use an instrument that looks like a small telescope with a light attached in order to see inside the groin or the abdominal cavity through a much smaller incision. In case of your brother if we are able to find the functional testicle, we may then proceed directly to perform an orchiopexy.

I have undecendent testis by birth. I go through a surgery when I was 15. After the surgery I did not face any problem.I got married in 2005 but I have no baby.Recently I made a test of my semens.The result is azoospermia with genito urinery infection.After that I made an ultrasonogram of my testis, the result is No definite testicular tissue is identified in the right scrotal sac,rather an elongated echopenic structer(measures about 5.0 into 1.2 mm) is seen in the right ingunial canal region.Color flow imaging shows markedly reduced vascular signal changes within the structure. Left testis is normal in size & shape. No cystic or solid lesions are detected in the left testicle. Left the epididymymal head shows cystic area(about 8 into 6mm). No abnormal fluid collections are seen in the scrotal sacs. Comments: Suggestive of Ectopic right Testis(in the right inguinal canal) with altered morphology. Left epididymal cyst. Now I am afraid about the result.Would you please inform me what should I do now. And is there anything dangerous to my life. Please inform me as early as possible. |
