Assent to ascent of the testis

Abstract

We report 13 boys in whom the testis ascended from the normal scrotal position to an undescended position. A patent processus vaginalis was identified in 10 patients at orchidopexy and is believed to have contributed to testicular ascent. The other three patients had retractile testes which were held in the high position by surrounding adhesions.
