    • To facilitate the assessment of the relationship between testicular longitudinal and transversal diameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Design of a novel orchidometer utilizing a plastic plate with elliptical perforations.
    • Fitting the testis into the elliptical holes to determine its dimensions.

    Main Results:

    • The new orchidometer allows for the evaluation of the relationship between longitudinal and transversal testicular diameters.
    • The device is applicable across all stages of testicular growth.

    Conclusions:

    • The designed orchidometer offers a straightforward and effective method for testicular size assessment.
    • This tool can aid clinicians and researchers in monitoring testicular development and function.
