After informed consent, all patients were subjected to a color Doppler ultrasound examination to assess the location of the testis, its size, blood supply, and consistency.

Of these, 44 patients (54 units) underwent a color Doppler study to assess the testes. All the testes were found to lie in the scrotum with preserved blood supply. The volume of the operated unilateral testes (mean = 1.605 cm\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) was smaller than the normal nonoperated side (mean = 2.524 cm\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      ). The smaller testicular volume was observed in spite of maintained blood supply to the testes. In cases of bilateral UDT, both the testes were smaller in size (mean = 2.2 cm\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      ), but were comparable to each other.
