Laparoscopic evaluation of nonpalpable testes

Abstract:
Laparoscopy was utilized in the evaluation of 27 nonpalpable testes in 21 patients prior to exploration and necessary definitive surgery. Laparoscopic prediction of the location of the nonpalpable testes was accurate in all cases. Laparoscopic findings can help in determining the appropriate technique of orchiopexy expected to yield better testicular salvage. It can also prevent unnecessary exploration of children with anorchia as evidenced by blind-ending vas deferens and spermatic vessels.
