Abstract (2. Language): 
Objective: It is aimed to investigate the effects of human chorionic gonadotrpin (hCG) treatment on testicular descent and volume, penile length, serum antisperm antibodies (ASA), follicle-stimulating hormone (pSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and total testosterone levels in children with undescended testis (UDT). Materials and Methods: 46 prepubertal children with UDT were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as Placebo (n=17) and Pregnyl (n=29). 6 of 29 patients (20,6%) in Pregnyl group were excluded from the study as testicular descend was achieved with the hormonal treatment. Pregnyl group (n=23) received 100 IU/kg i.m. dose of hCG once a week for 3 weeks. Placebo group received i.m. Sp injections once a week for 3 weeks. Orchiopexy was performed each patients in 1 week after the medical treatment. Testicular locations and volumes were determined with USG; penile lengths, serum levels of ASA, total testosteron, pSH and LH were measured before the treatment and one month after the surgery. Results: The penile length, testicular volume and serum total testosterone level were increased significantly in Pregnyl group following surgery (p<0,001). However, no significant differences were detected in serum ASA, pSH and LH levels before and after the treatment in both groups. Conclusion: Hormonal treatment with hCG may provide testicular descent and may be considered as a treatment modality prior to surgery in children with UDT.Serum ASAblevels ,which may have an influence on the infertility, does not changes with the hormonal treatment before and after the surgery. This finding, beside the testicular descent, also supports the hormonal treatment option prior to surgery in children with UDT
Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: inmemiş testisli çocuklarda human koryonik gonadotropin (hCG) tedavisinin testis inişine ve hacmine, penis boyuna, serum antisperm antikor (ASA), folikül stimulan hormon (pSH), luteinizan hormon (LH) ve total testosteron düzeylerine olan etkilerini araştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya inmemiş testis tanısı almış 46 prepubertal olgu dahil edildi. Hastalar Plasebo (n=17) ve Pregnyl (n=29) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Pregnyl grubundaki 6 olguda (%20,6) hCG tedavisi sonrasında testis inişi oldu ve bu olgular çalışmadan çıkartıldı. Plasebo grubuna 3 hafta boyunca haftada bir kez i.m. Sp, Pregnyl grubuna ise 3 hafta boyunca haftada bir kez 100 IU/kg i.m. hCG uygulandı. Hastalara tıbbi tedavi tamamlandıktan sonra 1 hafta içerisinde orşidopeksi yapıldı. Olguların tıbbi tedaviden hemen önce ve orşidopeksiden 1 ay sonra ultrasonografi ile testis boyutları ve yerleşimleri değerlendirildi ve penis boyları, serum ASA, pSH, LH ve total testosteron düzeyleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: Penis boyu, testis hacmi ve serum total testosteron düzeyleri Pregnyl grubunda, Plasebo grubuna göre anlamlı düzeyde artış gösterdi (p<0,01). Serum ASA, pSH ve LH değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, her iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. Sonuçlar: İnmemiş testisli çocuklarda hormonal tedavi testis inişini sağlayabilir ve cerrahi tedavi öncesinde bir tedavi seçeneği olarak düşünülebilir. İnfertilitede rolü olabilen serum ASA düzeyleri hormonal tedaviden etkilenmemiştir. Testis inişini sağlamanın yanında bu bulgu da, inmemiş testiste hormon tedavisinin kullanımını desteklemektedir.
