Ipsilateral polyorchidism with cryptorchidism in a pediatric patient: a rare case report from a resource-limited setting

Managing concurrent polyorchidism and cryptorchidism in LMICs requires adapted strategies when advanced techniques are inaccessible. Open surgery remains vital diagnostically and therapeutically, necessitating vigilance for supernumerary testes. This case exemplifies balancing orchiectomy for non-viable tissue with orchiopexy for functional preservation, advocating context-sensitive surgical approaches in resource-limited pediatric urology.

Abstract

Managing concurrent polyorchidism and cryptorchidism in LMICs requires adapted strategies when advanced techniques are inaccessible. Open surgery remains vital diagnostically and therapeutically, necessitating vigilance for supernumerary testes. This case exemplifies balancing orchiectomy for non-viable tissue with orchiopexy for functional preservation, advocating context-sensitive surgical approaches in resource-limited pediatric urology.
