Does the contralateral testicular volume decide the need for diagnostic laparoscopy in cases of unilateral impalpable undescended testis?

Table 2 The calculated volume of normal contralateral testis among the studied patients

Side of the affected impalpable testis	N	Volume of the contralateral normal testis
Side of the affected impalpable testis	N	Mean ± SD.	Median (Min. – Max.)	Test of significance	p
Right	30	0.69 ± 0.25	0.67 (0.24–1.33)
Left	46	0.75 ± 0.24	0.76 (0.26–1.19)	U = 577.0	0.230

H: Kruskal Wallis test, U: Mann Whitney test, p: p-value for comparing the studied categories, *: Statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05, SD: Standard deviation
