Abstract

Introduction: Laparoscopic techniques were introduced as alternatives to many open urologie procedures. In pediatrie urology, one of the main applications of laparoscopy is the evaluation and treatment of nonpalpable testis. We are presenting our initial experience with laparoscopy in patients with nonpalpable testis. Materials and Methods: Laparoscopy was performed under general anesthesia on 10 patients from December 2000 to July 2001. If the internal spermatic vessels and vas deferens made their way into the internal inguinal ring, the inguinal canal was dissected. Laparoscopic orchiopexy or orchiectomy was performed in cases with intra-abdominal testis. If the internal spermatic vessels terminated within blind end intraperitoneally, making it impossible to identify the testis, the case was judged to be vanishing testis. Results: Ten boys, aged from 18 months to 25 years (median 9.8 years) were identified with 17 nonpalpable testes. Of 17 nonpalpable testes, in 11 the vas and vessels entered an open internal ring. The inguinal region was explored in all the 11 testes. Orchiopexy was performed on 10 testes and orchiectomy was performed on one testis. Four of 17 testes were intra-abdominal. Laparoscopic orchiopexy was performed in two testes and laparoscopic orchiectomy was performed in two testes. In one boy with bilateral nonpalpable testes neither vas and vessels nor testes were visualized and this case was diagnosed as vanishing testis. Conclusion: Diagnostic laparoscopy is a very helpful minimally invasive technique in the diagnosis of nonpalpable testes especially when ultrasonography and/or computed tomography are not informative. In addition, orchiectomy and orchiopexy can be done as laparoscopically in the patients with intraabdominal testes. Therefore, the laparoscopy has an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of nonpalpable testes.

Özet

Laparoskopik teknikler bir çok açık ürolojik girişimlere alternatif olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Çocuk ürolojisinde laparoskopinin önemli uygulama alanlarından biri ele gelmeyen testisin tanı ve tedavisidir. Bu yazıda, ele gelmeyen testisli olgulardaki ilk laparoskopi deneyimlerimizin sonuçları sunulmaktadır. Aralık 2000-Temmuz 2001 tarihleri arasında 10 olguya genel anestezi ile laparoskopi uygulandı, internal spermatik damarlar ve vaz deferensin internal inguinal ringden girdiği görülen olgularda, inguinal kanal eksplore edildi. İntraabdominal testisi olan olgularda, laparoskopik orşiopeksi veya orşiektomi uygulandı, internal spermatik damarların kör sonlanması kaybolan (vanishing) testis olarak kabul edildi. 18 ay-25 yaş arası (ortalama 9.8 yıl) 10 erkek olguda 17 ele gelmeyen testisle karşılaşıldı. Bunlardan vaz deferensin ve damarsal yapıların internal inguinal ringe girdiği görülen 11'inde inguinal bölgeye eksplorasyon yapıldı. On testise orşiopeksi, bir testise de orşiektomi yapıldı. On yedi testisin 4'ü intraabdominaldi. Bunlardan 2'sine laparoskopik orşiopeksi, 2'sine de laparoskopik orşiektomi uygulandı. Bilateral ele gelmeyen testisi olan bir olguda vaz, damarlar ve testis görülemediği için, testisin olmadığı kabul edildi. Ele gelmeyen testislerin tanısında ullrasonografi ve/veya bilgisayarlı tomografinin yeterli bilgi vermediği durumlarda minimal invazif bir yöntem olan diyagnostik laparoskopi kesin tanının konulmasında yardımcı olduğu gibi, inlraabdominal teslisli olgularda orşiektomi veya orşiopeksi gibi tedaviler laparoskopik olarak yapılabilmekledir. Bu nedenle laparoskopi, ele gelmeyen testislerin tanı ve tedavisinde önemli yeri olan bir yöntemdir.
