To present the results in a midterm followup of laparoscopic testicular preservation in adults with intra-abdominal cryptorchidism.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. We analyzed 14 adult patients with cryptorchidism (19 testes) submitted to transabdominal laparoscopic evaluation and treatment of the condition. Data was collected retrospectively from a prospective database from August 2005 to May 2010. It analyzed patient age, affected side, procedure, mean operative time, mean hospital stay, postoperative testis position, intra- and postoperative complications, presence of malignancy in the removed testis, and midterm outcomes: size of the testis, development of tumors, and fertility.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Mean patient age was 29 (18\u201354) years. Thirteen (68.4%) testes were preserved. There were no intra- or postoperative complications. After a mean followup of 48.7 (20\u201364) months, all patients submitted to orchiopexy had the organs correctly positioned, although 2 testes were significantly smaller than before the procedure. No patient presented any signs of malignancy during the followup. Fertility was not preserved in bilateral cases.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Laparoscopic testicular evaluation and eventual preservation are feasible and safe. In a midterm followup, testicular tumor is not a concern, and unfortunately, fertility may not be preserved in bilateral cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/329237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,22]],"date-time":"2012-11-22T16:00:33Z","timestamp":1353600033000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Laparoscopic Testicular Preservation in Adults with Intra-Abdominal Cryptorchidism: Is It Beneficial?"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2012","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5845-0894","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"F\u00e1bio C\u00e9sar Miranda","family":"Torricelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Hospital das Clinicas, University of S\u00e3o Paulo Medical School, Avenue Vereador Jose Diniz 3300, Conjunto 208, 04604-006 Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco Antonio","family":"Arap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Hospital das Clinicas, University of S\u00e3o Paulo Medical School, Avenue Vereador Jose Diniz 3300, Conjunto 208, 04604-006 Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ricardo Jord\u00e3o","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Hospital das Clinicas, University of S\u00e3o Paulo Medical School, Avenue Vereador Jose Diniz 3300, Conjunto 208, 04604-006 Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anuar Ibrahim","family":"Mitre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Hospital das Clinicas, University of S\u00e3o Paulo Medical School, Avenue Vereador Jose Diniz 3300, Conjunto 208, 04604-006 Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Srougi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Hospital das Clinicas, University of S\u00e3o Paulo Medical School, Avenue Vereador Jose Diniz 3300, Conjunto 208, 04604-006 Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02125438"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ncpuro1102"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-4295(94)90049-3"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(01)63613-9"},{"issue":"1","key":"5","first-page":"65","volume":"31","year":"1997","journal-title":"European Urology"},{"issue":"1 i","key":"6","first-page":"181","volume":"133","year":"1979","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"issue":"3","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"627","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.136.3.6105698","volume":"136","year":"1980","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"issue":"1","key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.164.1.2884693","volume":"164","year":"1987","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"issue":"8492","key":"9","first-page":"1246","volume":"1","year":"1986","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2008.10.074"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000089170"},{"issue":"1","key":"12","first-page":"43","volume":"8","year":"2004","journal-title":"Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons"}],"container-title":["Advances in Urology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/au\/2012\/329237.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/au\/2012\/329237.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/au\/2012\/329237.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,20]],"date-time":"2017-06-20T23:03:11Z","timestamp":1497999791000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/au\/2012\/329237\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["329237","329237"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2012\/329237","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-6369","1687-6377"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-6369","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-6377","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
