title: [Surgical treatment of cryptorchism in scrotal hypoplasia].
abstract: In the submitted paper the authors give an account of their experience with the treatment of a patient with severe scrotal hypoplasia which is a very rare inborn defect. In a group of 1403 boys operated in the last ten years on account of cryptorchism this anomaly recorded only once, i.e. in 0.071%. The authors recommend a two-stage operation. In the first stage they use a V-Y plastic operation to create a neoscrotum. In the second stage orchidopexy is performed. Collaboration with a child endocrinologist is important. The aim of endocrinological examination is not only evidence of the presence and function of the gonads by a hormonal test, but in case of associated anomalies, also the assessment of genetic, genital and gonadal sex.
