Background: The study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of delayed repeated enema (DRE) and to evaluate the effect of general anesthesia (GA) on DRE.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of all children below 3 years with primary intussusception who were offered DRE in our tertiary center, from 2014 until 2019. Following a standardized pneumatic enema protocol, those who showed a partially successful result were offered DRE 2 h later, either awake (Group A) or under GA (Group B).
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of the prospective cohort who had one-stage laparoscopic Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy (LFSO) with an earlier, similar cohort who had a two-stage LFSO. Both cohorts included only intra-abdominal testes (IATs) with short spermatic vessels.
Study Design: The present study initially included all patients between the age of six months and preschool age, presenting with an IAT to the authors' tertiary clinic from January 2012 to December 2014.
Objective: To review the role of various ultrasound (US) modalities in their ability to determine testicular viability in prepubertal testes following Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy (FSO).
Material & Methods: Our prospective study included all patients from the year 2012 to 2017 with intra-abdominal testes (IAT) who had one-stage or staged FSO in our tertiary centre. Follow-up was done at 6 months to assess testicular viability and testicular position by clinical examination, and this was correlated with conventional and Doppler US results then.
