Laparoscopic orchiectomy for cryptorchidism.
A 28-year-old man was admitted for removal of an undescented testis. The operation was performed via the laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopy has for years been recommended for locating the intraabdominal testis. Therapeutic laparoscopy is gaining increased popularity and this brief report shows that an intraabdominal testis can be easily removed via the laparoscope.
