Table 5

Comparison between the testicular and pseudotesticular volumes from the different orchidectomies (significant differences in volume are emboldened).

Orchidometric volume	BSO	BSCO	BESO
RV1	20.2 (8.9)	18.1 (6.7)	18.2 (6.7)
RV2	0.2 (1.0)	10.3 (4.7)	8.3 (8.1)
p value (RV2–RV1)	0.001	0.011	0.001
LV1	19.6 (8.5)	15.6 (9.7)	15.7 (5.8)
LV2	0.0 (0.0)	6.5 (8.2)	5.8 (6.9)
p value (RV2–RV1)	0.001	0.216	0.022

RV1: preoperative right testicular volume; RV2: postoperative right pseudotesticular volume; LV1: preoperative left testicular volume; LV2: postoperative pseudotesticular volume.
