The effect of the genitofemoral nerve division on the contralateral descended testis in the unilateral cryptorchidism model.

摘要: It is widely accepted that there are degenerative changes and decreased spermatogenesis in the contralateral descended testis (CDT) unilateral undescended (UUDT). While some investigators have postulated mechanism may be related to primary (congenital) or secondary (autoimmune, vascular, neural) events, exact of damage CDT still unknown. The present study was planned investigate role genitofemoral nerve (GFN) on CDT. Forty male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups 10 each. During newborn period a UUDT model created at age 30 days ipsilateral GFN division done (group A). In addition, with intact B), right bilateral scrotal testes C), control D) formed. When animals reached early adulthood, they killed removed. Mean seminiferous-tubular diameter (STD) germinal-ephitelium maturity determined using modified Johnson testicular biopsy scores (TBS). mean STD TBS did not show any differences suggesting has no effect model.
