Introduction: Laparoscopy has been used for the evaluation of impalpable testes for more than 30 years. However, its use for intra-abdominal testes has never been evaluated in a population-based approach. Neither has the share of timely orchiopexies of intra-abdominal testes according to published guidelines. We aimed to provide this information by...

Cryptorchidism is known to impair spermatogenesis. The blood-testis barrier (BTB) becomes defined in seminiferous tubules around puberty and provides a suitable environment for germ cells. Little is known about the BTB in undescended testes (UDT). To determine the role of BTB during puberty in UDT using a non-surgical cryptorchid rat model. Unilate...

Improved survival in ADA-SCID patients is revealing new aspects of the systemic disorder. Although increasing numbers of reports describe the systemic manifestations of adenosine deaminase deficiency, currently there are no studies in the literature evaluating genital development and pubertal progress in these patients. We collected retrospective d...

Undescended testis (UDT) is a urogenital disease that affects fertility. This study looked into the cytogenetic abnormalities of Iranian infertile patients with UDT. Our study included 522 infertile patients with UDT (case group) and two control groups, one with 300 infertile men without UDT and another with 268 fertile men. Chromosomal abnormaliti...

Male infant 9.5 month old presented with an empty scrotum and the ipsilateral intravaginal testis lying in a high iliac crest position. When crying a moving right inguinal bulge appeared on clinical examination. This grew bigger in moments of increas...

Congenital cryptorchidism (undescended testis) is one of the most common congenital urogenital malformations in boys. Prevalence of cryptorchidism at birth among boys born with normal birth weight ranges from 1.8 to 8.4%. Cryptorchidism is associated with a risk of low semen quality and an increased risk of testicular germ cell tumors. Testicular h...

Background Cryptorchidism or failure of testicular descent is the most common genitourinary birth defect in males. While both the insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) and its receptor, relaxin family peptide receptor 2 (RXFP2), have been demonstrated to control testicular descent in mice, their link to human cryptorchidism is weak, with no clear cause–ef...

Spigelian hernia is very rare in the paediatric age group. We present the case of an 11-month-old male child who presented with left Spigelian hernia with the left undescended testis in its sac. Hernia repair with orchidopexy was done using total laparoscopic approach. It is the first reported case of total laparoscopic repair of Spigelian hernia w...
