The operative time, hospitalization duration, conversion rate, wound infection or dehiscence, scrotal hematoma or swelling, testicular atrophy, reascent, hernia or hydrocele, analgesics needs, and cosmetic results were compared between SISO and TTIO using the Mantel\u2013Haenszel or inverse-variance method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 17 studies involving 2,627 children (1,362 SISOs and 1,265 TTIOs) were included in the final analysis.

The SISO approach had a statistically significant shorter operative time than the TTIO approach for PUDT (weighted mean difference\u221211.96, 95% confidence interval \u221214.33 to \u22129.59, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 79%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.00001) and a shorter hospital stay (weighted mean difference\u22121.05, 95% confidence interval \u22122.07 to \u22120.03,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04).
