Background Laparoscopic orchidopexy (LO) has become a standard procedure for the treatment of nonpalpable undescended testes. LO for palpable undescended testes is still controversial. The aim of this study is to explore the method and effect of laparoscopic orchiopexy procedure for palpable undescended testes in children suffering from cryptorchidism.
Methods A retrospective study was performed for LO and traditional inguinal incision orchidopexy(TIIO) for palpable undescended testes. Totally 220 children age ranged from 9 months to 96 months with both palpable inguinal canalicular testes were included. 170 patients received LO and 50 patients received TIIO. Patient age, operative time and clinical outcomes were reviewed. Independent t test and Fisher’s exact test were performed by SPSS 25.0 software.
Results The mean operative time (30.77 ± 6.02 vs 44.76 ± 6.70 min), postoperative normal activity time (1.25 ± 0.43 vs 2.48 ± 0.68 day) of LO was significantly shorter than TIO group. (P < 0.05). 47 of 49 cases (95.9%) within 1-year-old were successfully achieved LO.
Conclusion LO is an appropriate choice for palpable undescended testes, especially in younger children within one-year-old. The successful percentage of LO decreased with age growing.
