Abstract
Background: Undescended testis occur in 0.8 per cent of 1-year-old boys and thus represents the most common disorder of male sexual differentiation. Methods: 70 patients reporting to the General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery department within study duration and eligible as per inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Results: In our study we noticed that the maximum number of cases were between 2 years to 10 years. This symptom was followed by the presence of pain in 26 (37.14%) cases, swelling in 22 (31.43%) cases and chronic discomfort in 12 (17.14%) cases. Clinically 18 (25.71%) patients were associated with inguinal hernia, two (2.86%) patients had hyposadias, one patient was associated with torsion, one patient had testicular tumor. Post-operative complication was found in one patient who developed hematoma. Conclusion: The majority of undescended testes were palpable. The orchidopexy was the treatment of choice although the orchidectomy was indicated in atrophied or nubbin testis. Hence an early diagnosis and treatment is must to avoid complications.
