Study on Congenital Inguino-Scrotal Abnormalities Associated With Undescended Testis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The testicles descend to its normal position as a developmental process. When this descent is arrested at any level there is undescended testis or cryptorchidism. This study was designed to survey the various forms of undescended testis with other associated congenital anomalies in pediatric age group. For this purpose we reviewed 116 boys with undescended testis who were treated surgically. Unilateral cryptorchidism was found commoner than bilateral variety with right sided preponderance. Inguinal hernias were recognized pre-operatively or per-operatively in all the 116 cases and hydrocele in 62 per cent cases. Undescended testicles mostly resided in the inguinal canal and least commonly in the abdominal cavity. Hypospadias was the most frequently seen anomaly, having been noted in 10.3 per cent of the 116 cases. The incidence of phimosis was 6.9 per cent. The study revealed many common risk factors like prematurity, short spermatic vessels and small superficial inguinal ring which may be responsible for the failure of testicular descent.
