Protocol summary

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.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with unilateral palpable undescended testicles Exclusion criteria: Non- palpable testis intra-abdominal testis Absence of the testicles in the evaluation before surgery Severely atrophic testis Bilateral undescended testis The existence of other anomalies associated genetic disorder.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Trans-inguinal orchiopexy Comparison group: conventional orchiopexy
Main outcome variables
Outcomes: During surgery: Scrotal appearance after surgery and skin traction, surgery time, and complication during surgery( ischemia, hemorrhage, hematoma, inability to create inadequate spermatic cord length) One week and one month after surgery: Scrotal appearance and complication( include infection, dehiscence, edema, hematoma and ecchymosis. Three months after surgery: appearance ultra-sonographic finding about volume and dimension of testicle.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Method of randomization :Simple, Tools used in randomization:based on the random.org online site. Patient will be randomly assigned to two intervention and comparison groups after diagnosis and evaluation of inclusion and exclusions criteria.allocation to two groups will be done through the random.org online site without changing the sequence.In this site we enter the "numbers " section ten the "sequence generator" . As the total sample for this study is 100 psubjects the smallest value will be 1 and the largest us 100. The column should be 2 to get two series of random numbers. Then then we click on "get sequence" . The resulting sequence will be two columns of numbers that each number shows the number of entering patient and each column shows each study group that is intervention or control. The resulting numbers in each group will be entered the Excel to make them from smallest to largest. Concealment will not be done due to impossiblity.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group:Patients who refer to the children's hospital clinic from the February 2024 until the end of 19th May 2024 are examined first. If there is no testicle in the scrotum unilaterally and the same testicle is touched in the inguinal canal, they are included in the study. Patients with age below six months and age above two years are excluded from the study. For all patients, ultrasound is performed and the findings including the location of the testicles and the dimensions and volume of both testicles are recorded. Patients are admitted and consent to study is obtained from the parents. Patients are examined by attending physician and anesthesiologist. Initial tests include blood cell count is obtained. Patients with concomitant diseases and chronic disorders are excluded from the study. According to the order of entry into the study, patients are divided and odd numbers are included in the intervention group and even numbers are included in the comparison group. Parents are unaware of the groups. For both groups of interventions, the same general anesthesia is performed according to the anesthesia references. In the patients of the intervention group, the inguinal incision is first opened in the Langer lines of the inguinal canal area. Then the process vaginalis is removed and the necessary parts, including the vas deferens and spermatic blood and lymphatic vessels, are separated from it. The vaginal process is repaired and the patient's hernia is repaired. Then the gubernaculum is cut and hemostasis is done. The vas deferens and the spermatic vessels and the related testicle are preserved. Retro-peritoneum dissection is performed to free the cord so that the testicle reaches the scrotum and sufficient length of the spermatic vessels is created. The path of the testicle to the scrotum is opened by the surgeon's finger. Then, without cutting the scrotum, the skin of the scrotum is pulled up to the inguinal incision site by the surgeon's finger guide with a blunt tool. A pouch is formed between the skin of the scrotum and the dartos fascia. The testicle is placed inside poach and fixed to the skin of the scrotum with an absorbable suture. Then the skin along with the testicle is pulled down to the natural place. Then, the oblique external aponeurosis and subcutaneous tissue are repaired.

Then with a clamp inserted into the inguinal canal, the testicle is pulled down into the scrotal pouch. The testicle is placed inside the pouch of the dartos fascia. The tunica vaginalis around the testicle is fixed with vicryl absorbable thread in two places, and then dartos is repaired. Then, the oblique external aponeurosis and subcutaneous tissue are repaired.
