Gubernaculum Testis and Cremasteric Vessels Preservation During Laparoscopic Orchidopexy for Intra-Abdominal Testis: Effect on Testicular Atrophy Rates
Abstract
PURPOSE: Gubernaculum sparing laparoscopic orchiopexy, which involves anatomical delivery of the testis through the internal inguinal ring, has been proposed as an alternative to conventional laparoscopic Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy, maximizing collateral blood supply and potentially decreasing atrophy rates. We compared the 2 techniques to test this hypothesis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The primary (dependent) outcome of the study was rate of …
