    Laparoscopic surgery is effective for treating undescended testes (cryptorchidism) and varicoceles in adults. This technique allows for orchiopexy or orchiectomy for cryptorchidism and varix ligation for varicoceles.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Andrology

    Background:

    • Laparoscopic surgery's role in andrological procedures like varix ligation is debated.
    • Established indications exist for laparoscopy in cryptorchidism diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopy in treating adult cryptorchidism and varicocele.
    • To assess laparoscopic orchiopexy, orchiectomy, and varix ligation outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Laparoscopic orchiopexy (direct and staged Fowler-Stephens) and orchiectomy were performed for cryptorchidism.
    • Laparoscopic varix ligation was used for varicocele treatment.
    • Decision for orchiopexy vs. orchiectomy based on testis trophism after identification.

    Main Results:

    • Five adult patients with undescended testes underwent laparoscopy: 4 orchiopexies (2 direct, 2 staged) and 1 orchiectomy.
    • Twenty cases of varicocele (6 bilateral) were treated with laparoscopic varix ligation.
    • Staged Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy is indicated for intra-abdominal testes with short spermatic vessels.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopy is a viable option for managing adult cryptorchidism and varicocele.
    • The technique allows for tailored treatment strategies based on anatomical findings and testis viability.
