What this Trial Is About
This research aims to compare two surgical methods for treating palpable undescended testis in male children under 10 years old. The study focuses on evaluating operative time, cosmetic outcomes, and post-operative complications to determine differences between the approaches. It is a randomized, interventional trial conducted at Children Hospital Faisalabad to assess these surgical techniques in young patients. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group undergoes single incision scrotal orchidopexy, where the surgery is done through a single scrotal cut. The other group receives the standard two incision inguinal orchidopexy, involving separate cuts in the inguinal and scrotal areas. Both procedures are conventional orchidopexies aimed at repositioning the testis. During the study, children will be monitored for post-operative complications from 24 hours up to one month after surgery. Cosmetic outcomes will be evaluated two weeks post-surgery. The study includes follow-up visits to assess healing and surgical results, and all data will be collected to compare the two methods. Participation involves surgery, follow-up assessments, and monitoring for safety and effectiveness throughout the study period.
