Study aim
-
Comparison of complications in two methods of transinguinal orchiopexy and standard method in palpable testicles of children under two years old
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, single-blind, randomized, on 100 patients. A table of random numbers was used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Method:
Patients with non-palpable testicle who referred to the Mardani Azari children's hospital clinic in tabriz town from March 1402 to March 1402 are included in the study. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are applied and informed consent is obtained from parents. Then the intervention is done in two control and case groups.
In the control group, after the initial surgical procedures, a tunnel is created in the canal to the scrotum, and the testicle is placed inside the dartos muscle pouch with skin incision. In the case group, the scrotum bag is pulled up to the wound and the testicle is fixed in the sub-dartuspouch.
