Quotes from "ESPES Manual of Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery" by Ciro Esposito, François Becmeur, Henri Steyaert, Philipp Szavay -
"Preoperative radiological evaluation was not recommended in the guidelines on NPT [4, 5]."
"USG is an easy to perform noninvasive tool with no risk of anesthesia and radiation; but it has low efficacy at diagnosis to detect the presence of the testis or the absence of an intra-abdominal testis and is dependent on who performs. However, USG may be helpful in obese children, in cases of suspected DSD, to identify Mullerian structures and for determination of the exact size of pathologic and contralateral testes [6]."
