Background
A retrospective comparative study was performed on scrotal incision, inguinal incision and laparoscopic orchidopexy. The characteristics of the different surgical methods were analysed.
Methods
Clinical data of 158 patients with inguinal cryptorchidism admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2018 were retrospectively analysed.
Results
The operation time in the scrotal incision group was significantly less than that in the inguinal incision group and laparoscopic group (P < 0.05). The length of the operative incision in the scrotal incision group and laparoscopic incision group was shorter than that in the inguinal incision group. There was no significant difference in the postoperative hospitalisation time or hospitalisation cost among the three groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of scrotal haematoma in the scrotal incision group was significantly higher than that in the inguinal incision group and laparoscopic group. There were no complications, such as testicular atrophy, testicular retraction, indirect inguinal hernia, or hydrocele.
Conclusions
Transscrotal incision, transinguinal incision and laparoscopic orchidopexy are safe for the treatment of inguinal cryptorchidism. Satisfactory early clinical results can be achieved. Rational use of scrotal incision surgery and laparoscopic surgery for cryptorchidism may replace transinguinal surgery and can provide a good cosmetic effect for children.
