ABSTRACT

A male neonate born at gestational age of 40 weeks was found to have an enlarged and darkened right hemiscrotum after birth. Left testicle was descended and normal. No clinical signs of distress were evident. A color Doppler ultrasound showed an absence of testicular blood flow, consistent with perinatal testicular torsion. The patient underwent a bilateral scrotal exploration through an inguinal incision and a necrotic right testicle was found. A right orchiectomy and left orchiopexy were performed. Perinatal testicular torsion is a rare but severe condition. A high clinical suspicion is required since most of perinatal testicular torsion are intrauterine and can often be asymptomatic, only with localized findings of the affected testis. The management of perinatal testicular torsion is still controversial; however, the most consensual approach is a prompt testicle exploration with orchiectomy of the necrotic testicle and contralateral orchiopexy


Recém-nascido do sexo masculino com idade gestacional de 40 semanas, com edema e escurecimento cutâneo do hemiescroto direito constatados após o nascimento. O testículo esquerdo era palpável na bolsa escrotal e não apresentava alterações. A ecografia escrotal com Doppler revelou ausência de fluxo vascular no testículo direito, achado compatível com torção testicular perinatal. O doente foi submetido a exploração escrotal bilateral através de abordagem por via inguinal, tendo sido confirmada a necrose do testículo direito. Foi realizada orquidectomia direita e orquidopexia esquerda. A torção testicular perinatal corresponde a uma patologia rara, mas com possíveis consequências graves. O seu diagnóstico requer elevada suspeição clínica, uma vez que a maioria dos casos ocorre no período pré-natal, podendo ser assintomáticos após o nascimento e manifestar-se com alterações localizadas ao testículo afetado. A abordagem da torção testicular perinatal é ainda controversa, sendo mais consensual uma exploração escrotal célere com orquidectomia do testículo necrosado e orquidopexia contralateral

El tiempo de espera para la orquidopexia fue 4,72 meses, el testículo más afectado fue el derecho (58,82%). Se incluyeron 39 testículos, la ubicación primaria canalicular (71,79 %), la ubicación final escrotal (50,0%), la técnica operatoria fue inguinal (91,18%). El incremento de volumen testicular fue de 0,39 cm3, p = 0,0006, IC 95% (-0,62, -0,17). Conclusiones: La edad de la orquidopexia fue 49 meses y el volumen testicular aumentó en 0,39 cm3 después de la orquidopexia.


Objective: To determine the preand post-surgical clinical-ultrasound characteristics of children operated on for cryptorchidism. Material and methods: Descriptive and longitudinal study, data collected from medical records of the Hospital Sabogal, the variables were age at diagnosis, waiting time for orchidopexy, affected testicle, location of the testicle and testicular volume. Results: We included 34 children under 14 years with cryptorchidism, the age of diagnosis was 44 months and orchidopexy 49 months. The waiting time for orchidopexy was 4.72 months, the most affected testicle was the right (58.82%). 39 testicles were included, the primary canalith location (71.79 %), the final scrotal location (50.0%), the operative technique was inguinal (91.18%). The increase in testicular volume was 0.39 cm3, p = 0.0006, 95% CI (-0.62, -0.17). Conclusions: The age of orchidopexy was 49 months and testicular volume increased by 0.39 cm3 after orchidopexy.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The report describes a case of peri-operative stroke that presented as diplopia and gait difficulty on 2nd post-operative day after routine orchidopexy under spinal anesthesia in an otherwise healthy young boy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed acute infarct in bilateral cerebellar hemispheres, left half of medulla and left thalamus. A diagnosis of acute stroke (infarct) was made and patient was started on oral aspirin 75 mg.day-1, following which his vision started improving after 2 weeks. Possible mechanisms of development of stroke in the peri-operative period are discussed, but, even after extensive investigations, the etiology of infarct may be difficult to determine. Acute infarct after elective non-cardiac, non-neurological surgery is rare; it may not be possible to identify the etiology in all cases. Clinicians must have a high index of suspicion to diagnose such unexpected complications even after routine surgical procedures in order to decrease the morbidity and long term sequelae.


Resumo O presente relato descreve um caso de acidente vascular cerebral perioperatório que resultou em diplopia e dificuldade de marcha no segundo dia após orquidopexia de rotina sob raquianestesia em um jovem, em outros aspectos, saudável. Ressonância magnética cerebral revelou infarto agudo em hemisférios cerebelares bilaterais, metade esquerda do bulbo e tálamo esquerdo. Um diagnóstico de acidente vascular cerebral agudo (infarto) foi feito e o paciente começou a receber tratamento com aspirina oral (75 mg.dia-1), após o qual sua visão começou a melhorar após duas semanas. Possíveis mecanismos de desenvolvimento de acidente vascular cerebral no período perioperatório são discutidos, mas, mesmo após extensas investigações, a etiologia do infarto pode ser difícil de determinar. O infarto agudo após cirurgia eletiva não cardíaca e não neurológica é raro; talvez não seja possível identificar a etiologia em todos os casos. Os médicos devem ter um elevado grau de suspeita para diagnosticar essas complicações inesperadas, mesmo após procedimentos cirúrgicos de rotina, para diminuir a morbidade e as sequelas em longo prazo.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Ectopic penis is usually associated with penoscrotal transposition, and it is rarely observed in isolation. We report a surgical approach for an extremely rare case. A 10-year-old male patient with bilateral cryptorchidism and ectopic penis and scrotum in perineal area, with no penoscrotal transposition, representing an association not yet described in literature. A previous orchiopexy failed due to ectopic scrotum. By means of an inverted Y incision, the penis was mobilized and a perineal skin flap in form of a testicular sac was prepared. Finally orchiopexy was performed. The surgery was essential to treat cryptorchidism and to improve the self-image of the patient.


RESUMO O pênis ectópico geralmente ocorre associado à transposição peno-escrotal, sendo raro isoladamente. Relatamos uma abordagem cirúrgica para um caso extremamente raro. Tratava-se de paciente do sexo masculino, 10 anos, com criptorquidia bilateral e pênis e escroto ectópicos, na região perineal, sem transposição peno-escrotal, representando uma associação ainda não descrita na literatura. Orquidopexia prévia sem sucesso, devido à ectopia do escroto. Por meio de uma incisão em Y invertido, mobilizou-se o pênis e preparou-se um retalho da pele perineal em forma de bolsa testicular. Por fim, realizou-se a orquidopexia. A cirurgia foi fundamental para tratar a criptorquidia e promover ganho na autoimagem do paciente.

ABSTRACT

La criptorquidia es la anomalía genital más común en el recién nacido varón y a pesar de que su evaluación y tratamiento han progresado con las décadas, siguen existiendo muchas controversias al respecto. En todo niño, el examen físico genital debe buscar la presencia de las gónadas en el escroto, en su ausencia, debe tratar de distinguirse si la anomalía es unilateral o bilateral, definiéndose con la mayor precisión posible la posición de estas y distinguiéndose entre testículo criptórquido, ectópico y retráctil junto con la valoración de la existencia de tejido testicular funcional a través de estudios hormonales. El tratamiento puede ser hormonal o quirúrgico, este último no se recomienda antes del año de edad además corresponde a la terapia más exitosa para reubicar el testículo en el escroto en aquellos pacientes con gónadas en posición inguinal alta, abdominal o en posición ectópica, o en aquellos en los que la terapia hormonal ha fallado. Por otro lado, la terapia hormonal se recomienda en mayor medida cuando las gónadas están en posición inguinal media, baja o escrotal alta. El tratamiento apunta a reducir, aunque no siempre logra evitar los posibles problemas a largo plazo de infertilidad y cáncer de testículo. MÉD UIS. 2015;28(3):371-80.


Cryptorchidism is the most frequent genital anomaly in the newborn male. Although significant progress has been made in the assessment and treatment of cryptorchidism, several controversies still exist. In every boy, the physical examination should seek the presence of the gonads in the scrotum. Otherwise, it should be made clear whether cryptorchidism is unilateral or bilateral, the position of the gonad should be defined as precisely as possible, distinguishing between cryptorchidism, ectopia and retractile testes. Hormonal laboratory studies help assessing the existence of functional testicular tissue. Treatment may be hormonal or surgical. The latter is not recommended before the age of 1 year. Surgery has the highest rates of success in patients with gonads in high inguinal, abdominal or ectopic position, or when hormonal treatment has failed. Hormonal treatment may be successful in patients with gonads in low inguinal or high scrotal position. Treatment aims to reduce, although it does not always avoids, the risks of infertility and of testicular cancer in the long term. MÉD UIS. 2015;28(3):371-80.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Es una patología infrecuente del descenso testicular, a la fecha en la literatura sólo se han reportado aproximadamente 100 casos. Afecta por lo general a varones de 1-2 años de edad. El diagnóstico en adultos es sumamente raro. OBJETIVO: Describir las características clínicas de un caso de ectopia testicular cruzada unilateral. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente varón de 35 años de edad, consulta por tumoración en región inguinal izquierda de un 1 año de evolución, que desaparece al decúbito dorsal y aumenta de tamaño con el esfuerzo (estornudo y defecación). Niega dolor, edema, detención de heces y gases. Al examen físico de la región inguinal de pie se aprecia una tumoración de forma ovoidea, asimétrica desde anillo superficial hasta las bolsas escrotales del mismo lado; en decúbito dorsal se aprecia una tumoración de forma ovoidea, blanda, renitente, reductible e incoercible, por arriba del ligamento de Poupart y desde el orificio inguinal profundo-externo, se palpa testículo y epidídimo de forma y tamaño normal, RHA (+), transiluminación (-). La impresión diagnóstica indica hernia inguinal indirecta. Durante la disección y reparo del cordón se constata la presencia del doble paquete vascular correspondiente a ambos testículos exteriorizados a través del orificio inguinal profundo izquierdo. DISCUSIÓN: Esta rara patología es diagnosticada de forma casual en la mayoría de los casos, como hallazgo operatorio en pacientes diagnosticados de hernia inguinal o criptorquidia.


INTRODUCTION: It is a rare pathology of testicular descent, to the date the literature has reported only a hundred cases. Usually it affects boys between 1-2 years old. The diagnosis in adults is extremely rare. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical features of a case of Crossed testicular ectopia. CASE REPORT: Male, 35 years old, consulted for a lump of one year of evolution in inguinal region, that supine disappears and increases in size with the effort (sneeze and defecation). He denies pain, edema, detention of feces and gases. Physical examination of the inguinal region stand a tumor seen ovoid, asymmetrical from superficial ring to the scrotal sacs on the same side; supine a tumor seen ovoid, soft, renitente, reducible and intractable, above the ligament of Poupart and from deep-external inguinal ring, testis and epididymis of normal shape and size, bowel sounds (+), transillumination(-). Indirect inguinal hernia was diagnosed. During dissection and repair of the cord the presence of the double vascular bundle corresponding to both externalized testicles through the left inguinal deep hole is found. DISCUSSION: This rare disease, in most cases the diagnosis is casual, as surgical finding in patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia or cryptorchidism

ABSTRACT

Existe un grupo de pacientes con criptorquidias palpables en los que la liberación de los vasos espermáticos y el conducto deferente en el retroperitoneo por laparoscopía, facilitaría la orquidopexia abierta en un sólo tiempo y mejoraría el pronóstico de posición y vitalidad testicular a largo plazo. Presentamos nuestra experiencia inicial de pacientes tratados con esta técnica, a la que hemos denominado Orquidopexia Video Asistida (OVA).Estudio prospectivo entre agosto de 2011 y marzo de 2012 que incluyó 15 pacientes y 16 testículos. Se incluyeron criptorquidias canaliculares altas, “peeping testis” y re-operaciones. Se excluyeron pacientes que, en el examen bajo anestesia general, se palpó testículo en posición canalicular media o baja. En 8 meses se realizaron 9 OVA izquierdas, 5 derechas y 1 bilateral. La edad operatoria promedio de los pacientes fue de 3,7 años. El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue de 55 minutos. El tiempo de seguimiento promedio fue de 9 meses (r6-14 meses). El seguimiento clínico ha mostrado posición normal y buena vitalidad testicular evaluada por tamaño testicular al examen físico en todos los pacientes. CONCLUSIONES: Los resultados clínicos preliminares son alentadores. Proponemos agregar OVA al algoritmo de tratamiento de las criptorquidias palpables.


There is a group of patients with palpable cryptorchidism in which releasing the spermatic vessels and the vas deferens in the retroperitoneum through laparoscopy, facilitates the open orquidopexy in a single time and improves the prognosis of testicular position and vitality on the long term. We report our initial experience of patients treated with this technique, which we called Video Assisted orchidopexy (OVA).Prospective study between August 2011 and March 2012, which included 15 patients and 16 testicles. High canalicular cryptorchidism, “peeping testis” and re-operations were included. We excluded patients who, on examination under general anesthesia, had a palpable canalicular testis in middle or low position. RESULTS: In a peroid of 8 months we performed 9 left, 5 right and 1 bilateral OVA. Mean age of the patients was 3.7 years. Mean operative time was 55 minutes. Average follow-up time was 9 months (r6-14 months). Clinical follow-up shows normal position and good vitality as assessed by testicular size at physical examination on all patients. Preliminary clinical results are encouraging. We propose adding OVA treatment algorithm palpable cryptorchidism.
