Spectrum of Epididymis and Vas Deferens Anomalies Among Children With Cryptorchidism

Spectrum of Epididymis and Vas Deferens Anomalies Among Children With Cryptorchidism: A Retrospective Multi-center Study

: Data was collected retrospectively from six centers providing care for patients with undescended testicles from September 2017 to February 2019. All patients whose congenital anomalies of the epididymis or vas deferens were discovered incidentally during operative intervention for cryptorchidism and where photographs of the anomalies were taken were included.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Background: Epididymal and vas deferens anomalies are not rare among children with cryptorchidism. They may affect fertility following orchiopexy.

Material and Methods: Data was collected retrospectively from six centers providing care for patients with undescended testicles from September 2017 to February 2019. All patients whose congenital anomalies of the epididymis or vas deferens were discovered incidentally during operative intervention for cryptorchidism and where photographs of the anomalies were taken were included.
