Orchidopexy Articles

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - The present article details several common scenarios of referral for men with a prior history of cryptorchidism and orchidopexy seeking advice for infertility, and examines the association between cryptorchidism and male infertility.

The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility and outcomes of pediatric urological laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery.

We retrospectively collected charts of all patients who underwent LESS procedures in our department from January 2013 to December 2016.

Undescended testis is the most common endocrinological disease in the male newborn period. Incidence varies between 1.0% and 4.6% in full-term neonates, with rates as high as 45% in preterm neonates.

Recent studies have suggested contradictory trends in the incidence of undescended testis (UDT) and hypospadias (HYP), partly because of methodological issues and ascertainment bias. The recently described association of "testicular dysgenesis syndrome" links concomitant UDT and HYP, with decreasing sperm counts and testicular cancer.
