Background: Measuring testicular volumes by orchidometer is a standard method of pubertal staging in boys. A paucity of evidence exists as to its inter and intra-observer reliability and the impact of clinicians gender, experience and training on the accuracy of measurements. We are developing specifically engineered models with different testicular volumes to investigate inter and intra-observer reliability of testicular volume estimation for simulation training.<p class=...
