Abstract
Forty boys with 54 incompletely descended testes took part in a double blind, controlled trial of intranasal LHRH. In the control (placebo) group of 18 boys there was no significant change in testicular descent and all required orchidopexy; in the 22 treated boys, 12 of 29 testes (42%) were found in a lower position. This study supports the idea that a trial of intranasal LHRH (1200 .mu.g/day for 28 days) will help clarify the need for orchidopexy in at least 30% of boys with incomplete descent of the testis, particularly those in whom testes have emerged from the inguinal canal.
