Criptorquidea en escolares intervenidos quirúrgicamente. Hospital Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra. 2015 - 2018

Abstract

The objective of this titration work was to conduct a study of cryptorchidism which is the most frequent genital pathology in the newborn, being an important cause of consultation. According to different published studies it has been found that cryptorchidism affects between 1.6% and 5.7% of term infants, with an incidence greater than 30 to 40% in preterm infants, are usually diagnosed in adulthood at 0.25 - 0.9%. It affects only 1% of one-year-old children, due to the possibility of spontaneous migration during the first months of life. The study population with cryptorchidism and surgical intervention covered 8 pediatric school patients treated between the 2015-2018 period. According to the data collected, it is concluded that there is a higher frequency of surgical resolution in patients with full-term gestational age and adequate birth weight . The relationship of family history and maternal comorbidity for cryptorchidism is not evidenced as risk factors that corroborate it. The mestizo ethnic group has a higher proportion of cryptorchidism and there is no relationship between the schooling of parents for the age of surgical intervention in patients with cryptorchidism. The patients in this study have a predominance of presenting unilateral cryptorchidism on the right side and with a smaller contribution being the bilateral presentation, giving as characteristics of greater contribution in bilateral presentation. The age of surgical resolution according to the data presented in the years 2015 - 2018, of the review of medical records with patients operated on for diagnosis of cryptorchidism shows an early intervention through a laparoscopic approach, presenting 77% in the ages of 0 - 5 years.
