Traumatic dislocation of the testis is an unusual disorder and is characterized by an ectopically displaced testis as the result of closed injury. We report on 2 patients inguinal dislocation of the testis that was treated by orchiopexy, with brief of literatures.

The authors outline the method of orchiopexy and report the results of orchiopexy performed on 79 cases (113 testes) of cryptorchism. A. Method of orchiopexy 1) In inguinal oblique skin incision, while noting frequent keloid formation, no keloid formation was noted as the lower abdominal transverse incision. 2) It was easy to descend testes to the base of the scrotal sac by performing orchidofuniculolysis sufficiently. 3) Of the several methods of orchiopexy, dartos pouch method was most ideal. B. Operative results on the 79 cases (113 testes) of cryptorchism are as follows. 1) Of the 113 testes, there were noted sufficient descent to the scrotal base in 108 testes, and somewhat insufficient descent in 5 testes. 2) In the consideration that 5 case of unsufficient descent in the group of type IV which was not detectable on manual palpation, sufficient orchidofuniculolysis should be carried out preoperatively regarding difficulties in sufficient descent. C. While operation time of cryptorchism being 4-5 years old as a rule, 25% or so are performed at 1-5 years old in authors' cases. So more active instruction should be considered.

A clinical study was made on 47 cases of undescended testes during 9 years, from March 1973 to February 1982. The results obtained as follows: 1. The age distribution varies from 3 to 35 and 12 cases (26%) were between 21-25 years old. 2. Bilateral undescended testes were found in 8 cases, and in the cases of unilateral, right in 27 cases and left in 12 cases. 3. Of the 57 undescended testes, most popular location was inguinal type in 31 testes. (56.4%). 4. Hormonal therapy was done on 11 cases and among them only 2 cases of unilateral type responded with partial descent. 5. Orchiopexy was performed on 45 cases and orchiectomy on 2 cases. 6. Of the several methods of orchiopexy, dartos pouch method revealed high success rate (91%).

Crossed testicular ectopia is an uncommon anatomical abnormality in which both gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum. We report a case of crossed testicular ectopia associated with bilateral cryptorchism. The crossed ectopic and intra-abdominal testis was fixed in it's own hemiscrotum by laparoscopic orchiopexy.

Herein, polyorchidism possessing of more than the usual number of testicles, which was found in two patients, is reported. Both patients had three testes, and one presented with painful swelling of the right scrotum caused by torsion of the testis and the other revealed a non-palpable testis in the right hemiscrotum. Both patients were managed surgically with orchiopexy and an orchiectomy, respectively, followed by the insertion of an artificial testis.

Ectopic scrotum is extremely rare and refers to the anomalous position of one hemiscrotum along the inguinal canal. Only two cases of ectopic scrotum have been reported in Korea. We experienced a case of unilateral ectopic scrotum with crytorchidism. The penis showed normal in appearence. The ectopic scrotum with cryptorchidism was found on the left inguinal area. And there was left ipsilateral renal agenesis on the ultrasonogram and DMSA renal scanning. We successfully performed scrotoplasty and orchiopexy.

We performed one-stage microsurgical phalloplasty on a 17-year-old male-pseudohermaphroditism patient after bilateral orchiopexy and urethroplasty, using the free radial forearm osteocutaneous sensory flap. The main advantages of this technique are not only the one-stage reconstruction and the satisfactory cosmetic and functional solution, but also the possibility of obtaining normal erogenous and tactile sensibility. One week after the operation, the urethrocutaneous fistula was developed between the native proximal urethra and the constructed neourethra, but seven weeks after the development, it spontaneously healed well. The results of our S-month follow-up are satisfactory in the following respects : 1) satisfactory cosmetic appearance 2) voluntary control of transurethral urination while standing 3) tactile and thermal sensibility. Further follow-up study is necessary for the confirmation of erogenous sensibility, successful sexual life and late complication.

A clinical observation was made on the diseases of pediatric urology in the Department of Urology, Capital Armed Forces General Hospital during the period from January, 1977 to December, 1979. The results were as follows: 1) Of 779 cases hospitalized, 49 cases(6.3%) were pediatric urologic patients. 2) The school children (6 to 12 years of age) were most frequently seen (44.9%). 3) The most common disease was genitourinary anomaly in 28 cases (56.1%) and hydrocele was in 17 cases (34.7%). 4) Fifty operations were performed in 49 cases. The most common operation was orchiopexy in 22 cases. Hydrocelectomy was performed in 17 cases and nephrectomy in 3 cases. 5) The most frequent duration of hospital stay was from 1 to 2 weeks (65.3%).
