Background:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic assisted trans-scrotal orchiopexy versus traditional orchiopexy for inguinal cryptorchidism.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis of cryptorchidism patients who were admitted to our hospital from July 2018 to July 2021. The patients were divided into the laparoscopic assisted trans-scrotal surgery group (n = 76) and the traditional surgery group (n = 78) according to the surgical method.
Results:
All patients were successfully operated. There was no significant difference in operation time between the laparoscopic assisted trans-scrotal group and the traditional group (P>0.05). Although there was no significant difference in the postoperative hospital stay between the two groups, the time of postoperative hospital stay of the laparoscopic assisted trans-scrotal surgery group was lower than that in the traditional surgery group (P = 0.062). Additionally, there was no significant difference in discharge rate on the first day after surgery between the two groups, but the discharge rate on the first day after surgery was more than 90% in both groups. In terms of postoperative complications, there were no cases of testicular retraction, testicular atrophy, inguinal hernia, or hydrocele that occurred in both groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of scrotal hematoma between the two groups(P>0.05). Although there was no significant difference in the incidence of poor wound healing between the two groups(P>0.05), the incidence in the laparoscopic assisted trans-scrotal surgery group was lower than that in the traditional surgery group (2.6% vs. 6.4%).
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic assisted trans-scrotal surgery is as safe and effective method as traditional surgery for patients with inguinal cryptorchidism, and could also provide a good appearance.
