The undescended testis. Theory and management
Abstract
Surgical techniques and research efforts to define the pathophysiology of cryptorchid testes have progressed rapidly in recent decades. Medical and surgical treatment modalities have focused on the young patient with an undescended testis. The potential adult complications of cryptorchidism, infertility, and malignancy should not be forgotten or dismissed.
