Abstract

Undescended testis or cryptorchidism is a common genital problem in boys. Non palpable testis represents 25% of all undescended testis. Non palpable testis presents a unique diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Non palpable testis should be treated to enhance future chances of fertility and to place the testis at a site where it can be easily palpated because such a testis has an increased susceptibility to malignant degeneration. Aims: • Toestablishdiagnosticefficacyandaccuracy in identifying clinically non-palpable testis. • To establish therapeutic role of Open and laparoscopic management of non-palpable testis. Methods and Material: Between 2015 and 2019, 25 boys with 28 clinically non-palpable testis, aged 16 months to 65 years, underwent operative intervention in a single surgical unit at our institute. Out of the 25 patients, 22 had unilateral (11 leftsided, 11 right-sided) and three had bilateral non palpable testis. The testis was considered non palpable after thorough clinical examination, ultrasonography and examination under anaesthesia failed to detect it. Keywords: Nonpalpable Testis
