COMPARISON BETWEEN LAPAROSCOPIC TRACTION (SHEHATA TECHNIQUE) AND 2-STAGE FOWLER STEPHENS ORCHIOPEXY FOR HIGH INTRABDOMINAL UNDESCENDED TESTIS. A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between laparoscopic traction (Shehata technique) with 2-Stage Fowler Stephens orchiopexy in cases of high intra-abdominal undescended testis in a prospective randomized manner to verify the results of the Shehata technique against the reference standard Fowler-Stephens Orchiopexy in fullfilling the objective of placing a high intra-abdominal testis into the ipsilateral scrotal compartment without the occurance of later atrophy or ascent on follow up. Type of Study: Prospective randomized clinical study that conforms to the CONSORT statement guidelines \[9\]. Patients will be divided into 2 groups randomized by block randomization method with an intention-to treat approach into: Group 1: Patients will undergo the Shehata Traction technique. Group 2: Patients will undergo Folwer-Stephens technique.
