Comparing two surgical methods for undescended testicle in boys
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares a newer single-incision scrotal surgery with the standard two-incision inguinal surgery to fix an undescended testicle in boys under 10 years old. The goal is to see which method works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- The undescended testicle must be able to be felt during a physical exam and located low in the groin area.

This trial studies a surgery approach (Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy) for boys whose testicle is found higher in the abdomen during a camera procedure. It may help doctors choose the best technique to move the testicle into the scrotum.
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery (radical orchiectomy) for testicular cancer. One method is the standard approach and the other spares a layer of muscle tissue. The study looks at patient experiences and recovery.
This trial compares two ways of handling the hernia sac during surgery for boys with an inguinal hernia. The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery and fewer problems.
This trial compares a newer, smaller-scope surgery (needlescopic) with the standard laparoscopic method for fixing inguinal hernias in kids. It aims to see if the needlescopic approach is safer or has better recovery.
This study tests a surgical technique (called the Shehata technique) for boys with an undescended testicle that is located inside the belly. It aims to move the testicle to the scrotum and help it develop normally.
