title: Orchidopexy in a military hospital.
abstract: A retrospective analysis of 53 consecutive cases of orchidopexy performed at the British Military Hospital Munster between 1984 and 1988 showed that the average of referral for orchidopexy was 4 years 7 months and that the average age at surgery for mal/un-descended testes was 5 years exactly. Sixty-four percent of all orchidopexies were carried out before the age of 5 years; 8 percent were carried out by the age of 2 years.
