Alterations in testicular positioning after normal descent: acquired cryptorchidism.

Background: Acquired cryptorchidism or acquired undescended testis (UDT) is defined as the displacement of a testicle outside the scrotal sac after normal descent has been verified. There are still no clear guidelines on its management.

Objectives: To analyze patients who underwent surgery for UDT in our setting to determine the prevalence of acquired cryptorchidism and to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of the population of children diagnosed with both acquired and congenital cryptorchidism, the age of presentation of both entities and the percentage of bilateral involvement.

Parotid irrigation: A promising option for juvenile recurrent parotitis.

Objective: To study whether irrigating the parotid gland with saline solution through the parotid duct reduces the number of inflammatory episodes in patients with juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) over a 1-year period.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the electronic clinical history data of patients with JRP that were treated with parotid irrigation under general anaesthesia at the Paediatric Surgery units of Consorci Sanitari Alt Penedès-Garraf and Hospital Universitari Mútua de Terrassa. The number of inflammation episodes in the year before and the year after treatment was analysed.
