Histopathological evaluation of six patients who underwentorchiectomy was compatible with atrophic testis.Conclusion: Laparoscopic intervention with three-dimensional imaging is an effective and reliablemethod in the diagnosis and treatment of testicles that cannot be detected by imaging methods dueto the advantages of three-dimensional imaging.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: To evaluate our laparoscopic approach with 3-D imaging in the diagnosis and treatmentof childhood non-palpable testes.Materials and Methods: Between June 2016 and June 2020, 40 unpalpable testis cases betweenthe ages of 1-14 (average 4.1) years, where in 18 the testes could not be detected by physicalexamination, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging and in 22 where the testes weredetected intraabdominally by magnetic resonance imaging, laparoscopic intervention wasperformed in the form of three-dimensional imaging, laparoscopic orchiopexy or laparoscopicorchiectomy.Results: The testis could not be palpated at the right side in 22 patients, at the left side in 14patients and bilaterally in 4 patients.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In 4 cases with bilateral unpalpable, eight cases withunpalpable left side and ten cases with unpalpable right side, the testis was detectedintraabdominally by magnetic resonance imaging, and laparoscopic orchiopexy was performed withthree-dimensional imaging in all of these cases (26 testes) with intraabdominally located testes.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Histopathological evaluation of six patients who underwentorchiectomy was compatible with atrophic testis.Conclusion: Laparoscopic intervention with three-dimensional imaging is an effective and reliablemethod in the diagnosis and treatment of testicles that cannot be detected by imaging methods dueto the advantages of three-dimensional imaging.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate our laparoscopic approach with 3-D imaging in the diagnosis and treatmentof childhood non-palpable testes.Materials and Methods: Between June 2016 and June 2020, 40 unpalpable testis cases betweenthe ages of 1-14 (average 4.1) years, where in 18 the testes could not be detected by physicalexamination, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging and in 22 where the testes weredetected intraabdominally by magnetic resonance imaging, laparoscopic intervention wasperformed in the form of three-dimensional imaging, laparoscopic orchiopexy or laparoscopicorchiectomy.Results: The testis could not be palpated at the right side in 22 patients, at the left side in 14patients and bilaterally in 4 patients. In 4 cases with bilateral unpalpable, eight cases withunpalpable left side and ten cases with unpalpable right side, the testis was detectedintraabdominally by magnetic resonance imaging, and laparoscopic orchiopexy was performed withthree-dimensional imaging in all of these cases (26 testes) with intraabdominally located testes. In18 cases (18 testes) where the testes could not be detected by physical examination and imagingmethods, the testes were detected intraabdominally by laparoscopy. While laparoscopicorchiectomy was performed in 6 of these cases, laparoscopic orchiopexy was performed withthree-dimensional imaging in 12 cases. Histopathological evaluation of six patients who underwentorchiectomy was compatible with atrophic testis.Conclusion: Laparoscopic intervention with three-dimensional imaging is an effective and reliablemethod in the diagnosis and treatment of testicles that cannot be detected by imaging methods dueto the advantages of three-dimensional imaging.

Özet

Amaç: Çocukluk dönemi palpe edilemeyen testis tanı ve tedavisinde üç boyutlu görüntüleme eşliğinde uygulanan laparoskopik yaklaşımı değerlendirmek.Gereç ve Yöntem: Haziran 2016-Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında yaşları 1-14 (ortalama 4.1) yılarasında değişen 18’i fizik muayene, ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemeyle tespitedilemeyen; 22’si ise manyetik rezonans görüntülemeyle intraabdominal olarak tespit edilen, palpeedilemeyen testisli 40 olguya testisin varlığını belirleme, laparoskopik orşiopeksi ya da laparoskopikorşiektomi şeklinde üç boyutlu görüntüleme eşliğinde laparoskopik girişim uygulandı.Bulgular: 22 olguda sağ, 14 olguda sol ve 4 olguda testis iki taraflı olarak palpe edilemedi.Bilateral palpe edilemeyen 4 olguda, sol taraf palpe edilemeyen sekiz olguda ve sağ taraf palpeedilemeyen on olguda; manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile testis intraabdominal olarak saptandı veintraabdominal olarak saptanan bu olguların hepsine (26 testis) üç boyutlu görüntüleme eşliğindelaparoskopik orşiopeksi uygulandı. Fizik muayene ve görüntüleme yöntemleriyle tespit edilemeyen18 olgunun (18 testis) hepsinde testis; laparoskopide intraabdominal olarak saptandı. Bu olguların6’sına laparoskopik orşiektomi uygulanırken, 12 olguya ise üç boyutlu görüntüleme eşliğindelaparoskopik orşiopeksi uygulandı. Hiçbir olguda intraoperatif komplikasyon oluşmadı. Orşiektomiuygulanan altı olgunun histopatolojik değerlendirmesi atrofik testisle uyumluydu.Sonuç: Üç boyutlu görüntüleme eşliğinde uygulanan laparoskopik girişim; üç boyutlugörüntülemenin sağladığı avantajlardan dolayı, görüntüleme yöntemleriyle tespit edilemeyentestislerin tanı ve tedavisinde etkili ve güvenilir bir yöntemdir.
