Abstract
The management of impalpable testis has undergone considerable evolution over the years, with laparoscopic surgery emerging as a promising approach. Present study was aimed to study of outcome of laparoscopic surgery in management of impalpable testis. Present study was single center, prospective, observational study, conducted in children in the pediatric age group (up to 18 years of age), diagnosed with undescended testes, parents willing to participate in present study. A total of 43 patients were included in the study sample. Majority diagnosed with an undescended testis on the left side (52.2%), followed by right side (34.8%). Bilateral conditions are less common, with bilateral undescended testes observed in 13.1% (6 individuals). Consistent with the diagnoses, the majority underwent a Laparoscopic Orchidopexy on the left side, accounting for 52.18% (24 individuals), while 34.78% (16 individuals) had the procedure on the right side. Bilateral procedures were performed on 13.04% (6 individuals). A large portion, 84.8% (39 individuals), experienced successful outcomes, which highlights the efficacy of the procedure. However, complications were not absent., 8.7% (4 individuals) faced complications and a few had more specific issues such as testis atrophy (4.3%, 2 individuals) and a decrease in size and vascularity of the testis (2.2%, 1 individual). Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and extremely successful treatment for the management of impalpable testes, improving the patients' physical and mental well being.
