Abstract
Abstract
Background
The purpose of this study was to summarize our clinical experience with transscrotal transverse incision in the treatment of low and middle cryptorchidism in children.
Methods
A total of 796 children with low or middle cryptorchidism participated in this study from March 2012 to May 2018. Transscrotal transverse incision was used to treat low and middle cryptorchidism. Symptoms and signs were followed up at 1 week, 1 month, 3months and every six to 12 months thereafter.
Results
Testicular descent fixation through transverse scrotal incision was successfully performed in all 796 children. All patients were discharged 1–2 days after the operation. During hospitalization and follow-up, 35 patients had complications, including 7 cases of cryptorchidism recurrence, 5 cases of poor scrotal incision healing, and 23 cases of scrotal haematoma. There were no complications, such as bladder injury, testicular atrophy, inguinal hernia or hydrocele.
Conclusion
Transscrotal transverse incision is a safe and feasible method for the treatment of middle and low cryptorchidism. It has the advantages of less trauma and an aesthetic scar after operation.
