[Fecundity following prepubertal orchiopexy in unilateral cryptorchism. Experimental study].
Study of fecundation ability following unilateral experimental cryptorchism as a function of the timing of orchiopexy. Two groups of 45 Wistar rats underwent unilateral mechanical cryptorchism and early and late prepuberal posterior orchyopexy, respectively. A third group of 45 rats underwent a dummy intervention. Mating taking place in subgroups of 15 animals at different ages showed that in the experimental animal, and therefore in any non-dysgenetic test, orchiopexy performed at the prepuberal period allows preservation of fecundation ability.
