		The orchidometer consists of 16 punched-out elliptical rings with graded volumes, 1-30 mL (1 to 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26 mL).
		The punched-out orchidometer is useful for serial measurement when the absolute volume is not important, for example, in the follow of the development of individual testicular volume in children after orchidopexy [12].
		For ipsilateral testis after torsion, we must be aware that orchidometer overestimates the testicular volume because of the thickened scrotal connective tissues and that USG is required during the follow-up period to detect the atrophy.

	Orchidometer
		An orchidometer is a medical instrument[?] used to measure the volume of the testicles and thus evaluate the physical development of boys going through puberty.
		The orchidometer was introduced in 1966 by Professor Andreas Prader[?] of the University of Zurich[?], and consists of a string of twelve numbered wooden beads of increasing size.
		The orchidometer can be used to detect disease: underdeveloped testicles can be a symptom of testosterone deficiency.

		In research presented at the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Urology meeting here, 18 boys with a nonpalpable left testis and enlarged right testis were studied.
		All had testicular measurement preoperatively with an orchidometer, and 15 were also measured intraoperatively.
		Initial exploration was transscrotal, and laparoscopy was performed when an intrascrotal remnant was not found.

	Diagnosis of Pediatric Varicoceles by Physical Examination and Ultrasonography and Measurement of the Testicular Volume
		The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the findings of physical examination and color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of pediatric varicoceles and to compare the findings using the Prader orchidometer and scrotal ultrasonography in the measurement of testicular volumes.
		The testicular volumes of 136 testicles were measured using the Prader orchidometer and scrotal ultrasonography.
		The correlation between ultrasonography and Prader orchidometer results in the measurement of testicular volumes was statistically highly significantly consistent using the intraclass correlation test (r = 0.997 and p < 0.001 for the left testis; r = 0.998 and p < 0.001 for the right testis).

		This type of orchidometer, a graded series of ellipsoid beads on a string, is used for testicular volume measurement, which is a useful index of puberty in male in order to evaluate male growth and development.
		The volumes of each testis were measured independently using Prader orchidometer by three different clinical investigators (A, B and C).
		Statistical analysis of the results was performed using Pearson's correlation (r) to determine the correlation of orchidometer measurements between the examiners.

		The most widely used method for measuring testicular volume uses the Prader orchidometer, which includes 12 ellipsoid testicular models made of wood or plastic and attached to a string.
		To assess testicular volume, the doctor palpates the testis with one hand while holding the orchidometer in the other, examining the patient for the model that is more similar to the palpated testis.
		Takihara et al.(10) proposed a new orchidometer that consists of a graded series of punched-out elliptical rings with the volume of the ellipsoids indicated on each ring for volumes of 1 to 30 ml.
