How to choose the way of cryptorchidism surgery? There is no doubt that cryptorchidism requires surgical treatment, so how to choose the surgical method, can we do laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery? In recent years, a more minimally invasive surgical approach has been implemented for children with cryptorchidism. Different minimally invasive surgical incisions need to be made depending on the location of the testicle: 1. Abdominal cryptorchidism or testicular agenesis: laparoscopic exploration of the abdominal cavity is required and, depending on the situation, in case of testicular agenesis (absence of testicle), it is recommended that the contralateral testicle needs to be immobilized. If it is abdominal testis (testis in the stomach), descending testicular fixation is performed laparoscopically with a small incision at the scrotum. 2. Cryptorchid testis in the groin and below (also known as palpable cryptorchid testis): testicular descent fixation is done through a hidden incision in the transverse line of the scrotum. Generally there is no need to use laparoscopy, in this case laparoscopy is meaningless, because the testicle is no longer in the stomach. With this surgery, the incision is more hidden, and the postoperative recovery is fast, the scar is small, and many babies can’t even see the surgical incision. 3.Inguinal surgical incision combined with scrotal incision for testicular descent fixation: this surgical method has more obvious scars, and is done less and less nowadays. In case of a very long inguinal canal (the child is bigger), and the testicle is not easily descended to the scrotum, this surgical method can be done. What is the prognosis for cryptorchidism? In the vast majority of children with cryptorchidism, the testicles can be lowered into the scrotum in a single operation, with satisfactory results. However, the later development of the testicles depends on the testicles themselves, and as doctors often say, “the doctor is just a ball-bearer”. However, the development of the testicle depends on the testicle itself. Doctors often say that “doctors are only carriers of balls”. What should I pay attention to after cryptorchid surgery? 1, cryptorchid surgery is not a big surgery, but for the baby, after all, is a blow, after the operation, some babies have low resistance, easy to catch a cold, fever, etc., should pay special attention. 2, postoperative inguinal area is weak, try to avoid longer coughing, constipation, etc. to increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, otherwise it is easy to complicate hernia or syringomyelia. 3.If the incision appears red, swollen, oozing, pus, cracking, etc., consult the doctor promptly. 4, the first seven days try to play on the bed, try to avoid strenuous activities within 1 month, do not touch the surgical incision and balls. 5.Post-operative follow-up is needed, and follow-up is particularly important, generally seven days after surgery to go to the hospital for a review, to see the recovery and the healing of the surgical incision. One month, three months, half a year, one year after surgery, and then every year, you need to review the follow-up, to understand the testicular development, and any problems in a timely manner to the hospital. 6, the postoperative diet should be light, eat some easily digestible food, spicy greasy fire do not eat, like ginger such stimulating food do not eat.
