title: Therapeutic laparoscopy for the nonpalpable testicle.
abstract: Laparoscopy is playing an increasingly important role in the management of boys with nonpalpable testes. We describe our technique of laparoscopy and laparoscopically assisted orchidopexy. Our early results in 24 patients with nonpalpable intraabdominal testes have encouraged us to recommend this option as the procedure of choice.
