Laparoscopy for the nonpalpable testis: how to interpret the endoscopic findings.
Journal of Urology 1990 November
We evaluated by laparoscopy 38 patients with 45 nonpalpable testes. Of 24 testes identified in the abdominal cavity 15 were atrophic, 2 had no epididymal connection and 7 were normal in appearance. Of the 38 patients 32 (84.2%) underwent exploration. A correlation of 100% occurred between laparoscopy and surgery concerning the presence or absence of the testis. Of the testes sought 60% were present (all but 1 in the abdomen) and 40% were absent. We conclude that diagnostic laparoscopy is as effective as exploration in adults and children, with a low risk of complication.
