[The advantage of the laparoscopic method of examining patients with nonpalpable testes].
The authors compared the diagnostical value of traditional operations with the inguinal access and a new method using laparoscopy for treatment of patients with testis aplasia. The laparoscopic method of examination was found to be preferable since it allows the correct diagnosis to be made in 96% of children with cryptorchism.
