Abstract
In a four-year period 46 boys have been laparoscoped in the search for 55 impalpable testes. Thirty-three per cent of the testes were located intra-abdominally. Another 53 per cent were absent. This could be diagnosed by laparoscopy alone in 35 per cent. Laparotomy was needed in only 3 boys to locate the testes.
