Clinical results of early and late operative correction of undescended testes

J Thorup et al. Br J Urol. 1984 Jun.

Abstract

Operative treatment of undescended testes was performed in 556 boys (695 testes). The histopathological changes in the testicular tissue were more severe in older patients. However, post-operative clinical results were found to be significantly better in boys treated immediately before puberty than in boys treated at an earlier age.
