Management of the intra-abdominal testis.
A survey was made of 30 pediatric urologists for their current practice. Localization, important for operative approach, is done by venography and arteriography; ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging; and laparoscopy, the last most often immediately before operation. The preferred operation is the long-loop vas orchiopexy; two-stage orchiopexy and microsurgical auto-transplantation are alternatives.
