Laparoscopy for the non-palpable testis--look before you cut!
Before definitive surgery laparoscopies were performed to define the position of 24 non-palpable testes in 21 patients. The anatomical site of the testes was confirmed by surgery in all cases. Laparoscopy is helpful in planning the definitive procedure in these cases.
