The use of microsurgery in the treatment of the undescended testis.
An experimental method of orchidopexy for high inguinal or abdominal testes, in the dog, using microsurgical anastomosis of the testicular vessels to vessels of the thigh or inferior epigastric vessels, is described. Experimental results suggest that this is a feasible method of treatment of such testes. A clinical trial of the method has commenced.
