    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Undescended testes (cryptorchidism) are common in pediatric patients.
    • Orchiopexy is the surgical procedure to correct cryptorchidism.
    • Scrotal fixation of the testis is a critical step in orchiopexy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple thimble-assisted technique for scrotal fixation of the testis during orchiopexy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this technique in children with cryptorchidism.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel surgical technique utilizing a thimble to aid in scrotal fixation of the testis was employed.
    • The procedure, orchiopexy, was performed on 48 pediatric patients.
    • A total of 52 orchiopexies were conducted using this method.

    Main Results:

    • The thimble-assisted technique facilitated scrotal fixation effectively.
    • Excellent surgical results were achieved in all cases.
    • The technique proved simple and reliable for pediatric orchiopexy.

    Conclusions:

    • The thimble technique is a safe, simple, and effective method for scrotal fixation in pediatric orchiopexy.
    • This approach offers excellent outcomes for treating cryptorchidism in children.
    • Further adoption of this technique may improve surgical efficiency and patient results.
