SUMMARYFailure of testicular descent always has an anatomical cause. This may be a fascial obstruction at the entrance to the scrotum, a hernial sac, an abnormality of the testis and epididymis, or all three.There is a strong tendency for the testis to descend naturally, but it is unwise to await this beyond the age of 10 years because of the danger of

Genetics of Undescended Testis
Journal of Urology, 1981We present our study of the genetics of undescended testes. The occurrence of undescended testes could be confirmed in 1.5 to 4.0 per cent of the fathers and in 6.2 per cent of the brothers of index patients with true undescended testes. The pattern of the familial cluster fits into the gaussian-additive-multifactorial-threshold program.

Testicular development is determined by the influence of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome of the fetus. This influences the germ cells to produce testosterone and Mullerian inhibiting substance which control descent of the testis. Maldescent of the testis occurs in 0.8% of boys. Current best advice is to perform orchidopexy before the age of two years,

The laparoscope and the undescended testis
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1992An empty scrotum with an impalpable testis/testes presents a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Many methods have been used in an attempt at, or as an aid to, the localization of these gonads including venography, ultrasonography, hormone manipulation, and surgical exploration. Laparoscopy has been recommended as an aid to diagnosis.

AbstractWe herein report our experience in the management of 21 patients with tumors in undescended testis. The primary tumor was in the abdominal testis in six patients and in the inguinal testis in 15 patients. Seventeen patients had unilateral involvement and four had bilateral.

We report an unusual case of a 22‐year‐old man who presented with the left testis spontaneously ascended to a non‐scrotal position. The testis had been documented to be intrascrotal without any sign of up‐migration when the man was 12 years old. On surgery, the cryptorchid testis was found to be located within the superficial inguinal pouch. The testis

Torsion of an undescended testis is uncommon. When encountered, this entity represents a surgical emergency and must be dealt with immediately. A report of 2 cases, one in a five-month-old child and the other in a twelve-year-old mentally retarded child, is made and the pertinent literature is reviewed.
