Cryptorchidism: the surgical implications of non-union of the epididymis and testis
Abstract
A boy with a non-palpable undescended testis was found to have a 7.5 cm. separation between the detached epididymis and testis. This anomaly of non-union of the epididymis and testis emphasizes the need for careful exploration of the non-palpable undescended testis.
