Anatomical correlation of undescended testes

Abstract

Background: Undescended testis (UDT) is a common childhood condition in which a boy is born without having one or both testes in their scrotum.
Methods: Total 50 boys above the age 6 month referred from clinical diagnosis of undescended testes The aim of examination was to locate undescended testis in inguinal region and/or pelvis. The location of testis was noted followed by its size, texture & vascularity. If necessary palpable examination was conducted.
Results: Total 50 patients were studied the age group above 06 months. In 50 patients 41 (82%) patients had unilateral undescended testes and 18% bilateral. In unilateral undescended testes prevalence was observed more on right side i.e. 22 (44%) and 19(38%) on left side. Ultrasound localized the position of testes more in the inguinal canal some in abdomen and few testes were not be localized. Out of 50 undescended testes 42(84%) in the inguinal canal, 06 in abdomen and 2 was not localized.
Conclusion: The undescended testes more prevalent on right side and in inguinal region.
