Abstract:
Objective To study the value of laparoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of high cryptorchidism. Methods 21 testes in 19 patients were performed by intraperitoneal exploration and cryptorchidopexy. Results The testes of 11 cases were located in inferior extremity of kidneys and the ones of 8 cases in superior part of internal rings.15 testes were fixed in the bottom of scrotums and 4 ones in abdominal cavity for secondary operation; absent testis was found in 1 case; 1 testis was removed due to testis dysplasia. Scrotum emphysema and hematoma occurred in 3 and 1 patients respectively. Wounds of 19 cases healed well postoperatively. 15 patients had been followed up for (3～10) months with an average of 6 months and they recovered well. Conclusions The diagnosis and treatment of high cryptorchidism by means of laparoscope has the advantages of minimal invasion, less bleeding, quicker recovery and no serious complications.
