Treatment Of External Genital Surgery

Approximately 3-6% of term newborn males have a non-descended testicle on. After completing the first year of life, almost 2% of boys still have one undescended testicle requiring treatment, with approx. 10-20% of mal-descended testicles are not palpable. Because of the expected functional and organic damage to retained testicles to demand diagnostics and therapy by the end of the second year of life. The works on cryptorchidism diagnostics and localization diagnosis of non-palpable testicles in children using imaging methods has proven to be unreliable and, in some cases, too invasive.

Laparoscopic Training simulation with Lap Trainer Box is a prudent choice.

Diagnosis of Non-Palpable Testicles

In 1976, introduced laparoscopy to diagnose non-palpable testicles introduced. Own comparative study between sonography, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laparoscopy in 106 boys with non-palpable testicles demonstrated the clear superiority of laparoscopy. While the accuracy of both sonography and MRI was only 58%, laparoscopy achieved a diagnostic sensitivity of 96%. In addition, laparoscopy offers the opportunity to proceed therapeutically at the same time. In the case of an atrophic testicle, laparoscopic orchiectomy can perform directly. If the testicles well develop, laparoscopically assisted one- or two-stage orchidopexy (Fowler- Stephens) is possible.

Laparoscopy is the method with the greatest diagnostic certainty of the examinations available for the detection or exclusion of an abdominal testicle. Frequently unsuccessful so-called explorative, open interventions for Searching for testicles in the abdomen is therefore unnecessary. Varicocele ligation like testicular retention, the varicocele is one of the gonad disorders that can lead to fertility problems. The incidence of varicocele testis is in the 5% of the normal population and 33% of infertile men.

Prophylactic Therapy

Early or prophylactic therapy for varicoceles recommends, since they can progressively damage to the germ cell epithelium with subsequent deterioration that leads to fertility. If a fertility disorder has already occurred, the treatment can of the varicocele both sperm density and sperm motility are positive influences.

Retrograde Of the Testicular Vein

When using the classic open surgical methods must a relatively high rate (20%) of persistence or recurrence can expect. The alternatives are retrograde or antegrade sclerotherapy of the testicular vein as a minimally invasive treatment method for varicocele testis. The sclerotherapy procedures have persistence (recurrence) rates of 5-10%. The disadvantage of these procedures affects the radiation exposure. Also, several cases of testicular atrophy after antegrade sclerotherapy describes.

Laparoscopic Coagulation

Laparoscopic varicose vein ligation, introduced in 1989, offers the advantage of a microsurgical preparation due to the loupe magnification of the optical system and the possibility of retaining the spermatic artery if the surgeon wishes to do so. Our own experience began in 1991 with laparoscopic coagulation of the testicular artery and vein. Due to a recurrence rate of 25%, we changed our technique and, after severing the spermatic vessels near the inner inguinal ring, achieved a recurrence or persistence rate of 5%.

Conclusion

Due to the high success rate, the low complication rate and the minimal invasiveness, the laparoscopic ligation of the varicocele testis is, in our opinion, preferable to the classic open surgical procedure. The importance of laparoscopic varicocele ligation as a primary step is controversial because of the less invasive nature of sclerotherapy procedures.

Compared to the sclerotherapy techniques are the advantages of the laparoscopic Procedure in avoiding exposure to radiation (children and young people), in the Therapy of a bilateral varicocele as a one-step procedure, in the treatment of a Recurrences or a varicocele in the presence of vascular anomalies.
