Treatment of the cryptorchid testicle is justified due to the increased risk of
infertility and malignancy as well as the risk of testicular trauma and torsion and psychological stigma on
patients and their parents. Approximately 20% of cryptorchid
testicles are nonpalpable. Many
Radiological methods in addition to surgical exploration have been used to localize the non-palpable testis.
In these cases, the laparoscopic technique is a usefull method for diagnosis and treatment.
This study was done to evaluate reproductive potential of male mice following
early exposure to dimethoate. Thirty-six Swiss albino male mice were divided
into three groups of twelve mice each: first group injected intraperitoneally with
distilled
water, and used as a control group, while second and third groups injected
with dimethoate at doses of 0.1 and 0.2 ml dimethoate/100 ml distilled water,
respectively for 7 days. At the end of experiment, the mice were weighed and then
were killed. Testis and epididymis weights were recorded, sperm parameters were
evaluated.
