ROLE OF ULTRASOUND IN NON PALPABLE UNDESCENDED TESTIS
Abstract
It is a retrospective study expanded through a period of 4 years from 2014 to 2017. 55 patients were with non-palpable undescended testis were included as study subjects after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Tracking the spermatic cord technique with high resolution USG is a sensitive as well as cost effective method to detect NPT.
