title: Diagnosis and surgical treatment of the maldescended testis.
abstract: Maldescent is a common anomaly. Treatment is recommended at two years of age. Extensive retroperitoneal mobilization may be necessary for the high testis, but treatment may be facilitated by a preoperative course of gonadotrophin injections. This article is based on our management of 405 consecutive orchidopexies.
