abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A brief description of laparoscopic orchiectomy for undescended testis and a representative case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 22-year-old Chinese man was admitted for removal of an intra-abdominal testis. Laparoscopic orchiectomy was used to remove the testis at the time of laparoscopic orchiectomy. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A concurrent inguinal hernia was discovered during the procedure and repaired.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The use of laparoscopic surgery has proven to be a safe and effective means of treatment for the intra-abdominal testis.
