Abstract
An abdominal extraperitoneal approach is described for use in patients who have a severe degree of incomplete descent of the testicle. In 86 such operations, the testicle was placed in the scrotum in 85. The approach allows certainty of diagnosis in cases of anorchia and it is helpful when orchidopexy has to be combined with a herniotomy in infancy.Keywords
