Testis Sparing Surgery in Children
Journal Title: Journal of Urological Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Although the standard treatment for testicular tumors is radical orchiectomy in children, testis-sparing surgery (TSS) is an alternative method in selected cases according to tumor size, tumor markers and histopathological findings. In this paper, we present two patients aged 11 and 12 years who underwent TSS in our clinic. Frozen section examination was performed in both patients. Intraoperative ultrasound-guided mass excision was performed in one patient. Histopathological examination revealed an epidermoid cyst in one patient and Leydig cell hyperplasia in the other. TSS may be performed in children with a small testicular mass and negative tumor markers.
