| Popis: | Objective To prospectively evaluate the Bianchi single scrotal incision technique for orchiopexy in boys with palpable undescended testis. Methods A total of 35 orchiopexies were performed in 28 patients. The patent processus vaginalis was dissected and cut high without ligation, while in Bianchi's original procedure, the patent processus vaginalis is dissected up to the external inguinal canal, ligated high and divided. Testicular size and position were assessed at 2 and 6 weeks and 6 months. Results The single incision technique was successful in all cases. All testes were satisfactorily positioned in the scrotum. All testes showed good anatomical and cosmetic results at 6-month follow-up. Conclusion Single scrotal incision orchiopexy without ligation of the patent processus vaginalis has proved to be simple, safe and effective in selected cases compared with the standard two-incision approach in the treatment of palpable undescended testis. |
