ABSTRACT

Objectifs : Decrire les aspects epidemio-cliniques et analyser les resultats de la prise en charge des cryptorchidies. Materiels et methode : Il s'agissait d'une etude retro et prospective qui s'est deroulee du 1er Janvier 2005 a 31 Decembre 2009 et qui a porte sur tous les enfants de 1 a 15 ans traites pour cryptorchidie dans le service de chirurgie pediatrique du CHU Gabriel Toure. Resultats : En 5 ans nous avons collige 42 cas de cryptorchidie (8;4 cas/an). L'age moyen de nos patients a ete 6;48 ans. Trente et huit (90;5) patients ont ete recus pour vacuite scrotale et 4 patients (9;5) pour tumefaction inguinale. La cryptorchidie etait droite chez 24 malades (57;2); gauche chez 15 malades (35;7) et bilaterale chez 3 malades (7;1). L'orchidopexie conventionnelle a ete realisee chez 36 patients et la technique de Fowler- Stephens chez 6 autres. Apres 6 mois une retraction testiculaire a ete notee chez 2 malades (4;7). Apres 1 an elle a ete notee chez 6 malades (14;3) et une atrophie testiculaire chez 2 malades (4;7). La decouverte de la cryptorchidie est tardive dans nos pays. Un diagnostic et un traitement precoces assureraient un avenir fonctionnel et esthetique du testicule

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Undescended testis is a global problem; and late diagnosis and treatment can lead to disastrous consequences. We undertook this study to evaluate our management protocol and see how it fits into changing trends in management and compare our results with those obtained in other centers. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of all patients with undescended testes seen and operated at Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital; Nnewi; Nigeria during a 10-year period (1993-2003) was carried out. Results: Twenty-seven patients were analysed. 66.7of them were above 2 years of age. Eighteen patients had unilateral crypt-orchidism and 12 patients (44.4) had associated inguinal hernia. The undescended testis was found predominantly in the inguinal region (17 patients) and orchidopexy was done in 16. Half of our patients (51.7) were lost to follow up immediately after the intervention. Conclusion: The late presentation and inability to follow up these patients make the monitoring of such patients very difficult. We suggest that thorough examination of the external genitalia should form part of the normal post-natal check up and that a mass education campaign be undertaken
