Abstract:
Three further cases of perineal ectopic testis are reported and the published literature reviewed. Etiopathogenicity is discussed and emphasis placed on the need for perineal exploration in all cases of absence of testes from the scrotum. The most effective route of approach for repair is an inguinal one allowing replacement of the testis into the corresponding hemiscrotum without difficulty. Because of the histopathologic features involved, prognosis is better than that of cryptorchidism.

01:19Testes: Gross Anatomy
The testes, also known as testicles, are the male gonads. They are housed within the scrotum, a sac-like structure located beneath the penis. The scrotum's primary role is to regulate the temperature of the testes, which is crucial for sperm production.
Each testis is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a dense connective tissue layer that provides structural support and protection. This layer is covered by an outer serous membrane called the tunica vaginalis, which helps reduce friction...

01:28Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
