Long-term testicular position and growth were assessed by clinical examination and ultrasound (US). <i>Results:<\/i> In 44.5% (65\/146), testicular volume of the unilaterally operated congenital UDT was >50th percentile for age. In 55.5% (81\/146), the volume was \u226450th percentile, and 13.0% (19\/146) of these were \u226410th percentile. In 7 of 34 (20.6%) bilaterally operated congenital UDT, testicular volume was \u226410th percentile. The difference in size between the operated congenital UDT and the contralateral non-operated testes measured by both Prader orchidometer (p = 0.00) and US (p = 0.00) was statistically significant. There was a strong correlation between the orchidometer and US. On examination, 87.9% (175\/199) of the operated testes were located in the lower scrotum. <i>Conclusion: <\/i>The findings of this study suggest that ORP for congenital UDT is safe, and even when performed later than current recommendations did not result in severe growth retardation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000251185","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,9]],"date-time":"2009-12-09T08:56:21Z","timestamp":1260348981000},"page":"438-445","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Long-Term Testicular Growth and Position after Orchidopexy for Congenital Undescended Testis"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"K.","family":"Sijstermans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.W.M.","family":"Hack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.M.","family":"van der Voort-Doedens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.W.","family":"Meijer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00345-004-0398-8"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00365590310008686"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1464-410X.2008.07704.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1365-2605.2006.00702.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.juro.2007.03.184"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1203%2F00006450-200110000-00010"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1651-2227.2006.00159.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.juro.2007.03.173"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0022-5347%2801%2967015-0"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00345-006-0056-4"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1745-7262.2008.00340.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F08035250500423812"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1464-410X.1990.tb14906.x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0090-4295%2890%2980252-I"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590%2FS1677-55382006000500012"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056%2FNEJMoa067588"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590%2FS1677-55382006000400008"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.urology.2004.10.020"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.jpedsurg.2007.10.041"}],"container-title":["Urologia Internationalis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/251185","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/251185","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T21:44:27Z","timestamp":1745444667000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000251185"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000251185","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0042-1138","1423-0399"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0042-1138","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0399","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009]]}}}
