title: [Surgical problems posed by abnormalities of testicular migration].
abstract: Based on their experience and on a review of the literature, the authors study the surgical aspects of the undescended testis. A precise definition excluding the retractile testis is essential. Although the understanding of the pathogenesis remained incomplete, the present data give support to an early orchidopexy performed by a specialized surgeon following the failure of a human chorionic gonadotropin test.
