[Increase in the number of operations for undescended testis].
In recent years the frequency of operations for cryptorchism has been increasing, as evidence by operation protocols of boys qualified for treatment and operated on by the same surgeon in certain years. The principles of qualification for surgical treatment was evaluated on the basis of testicle position during and after the operation, testicle size, presence of inguinal hernia sac or patent vaginal peritoneal processes. It was found that the increase in the number of these operations in the hospital was not due to changes of these principles. Possible causes of increased frequency of these operations are discussed.
