Abstract:
In the Urological Department of Cho Ray hospital 1n 1998, 10 cases with non-palpable testis were operated. The lowest age of patients was 6 years old, the highest age was 27, the average was 14. Eight testes were in iliac fossae, 2 testes were in internal inguinal ring. Authors used technique liberating testicular vessels: elongating spermatic vessel and cord long enough to allow the testis to be placed into scrotum; creating a direct path to scrotum and thus, it is able to descend the testis into the scrotum by single stage orchidopexy, without traction on the vessels and damaging the blood supplying for testis. Six of ten cases were followed-up after operation by Doppler Ultrasonography. All receive good blood supply, no atrophy of testis was seen after operation
