Abstract
We evaluated 77 male patients with true cryptorchidism ranging from 2 to 46 months old to determine whether orchiopexy could be performed safely and efficiently, and whether treatment was helpful in patients less than 1 year old. Our results indicate that orchiopexy in patients younger than 1 year is safe, effective and beneficial, and optimizes treatment of this condition.Keywords
