title: Cryptorchidism: medical and surgical treatment in the 1st year of life.
abstract: Since cryptorchidism can cause infertility and early orchiopexy can improve fertility, we tried to determine whether medical and surgical treatment in the 1st year of life can improve testicular fertility. We concluded that this is the best time to treat cryptorchid tests.
