[The use of computerized tomography in the localization of impalpable testes].
Computed tomography is the most reliable method in the localization of the impalpable testis. This imaging technique permits precise preoperative localization where ultrasound cannot. Moreover, it can provide very useful information in the complicated cases of cryptorchidism (torsion, trauma, tumor) and can disclose other previously undetected coexisting anomalies.
