PURPOSE We evaluated the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of adult cryptorchidism, which have been difficult to establish, given the small number of patients presenting to outpatient clinics. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of 20 adult patients with cryptorchid testis was performed. We analyzed their palpation of testis, location, surgical method, marital status, number of...

Background: Disruption in spermatogenesis and infertility occurred after local testicular heating. In this study in addition to evaluation the long term effects of experimental bilateral and unilateral cryptorchidism on sperm parameters and structure of mouse testis, the genes that involved in programmed cell death after cryptorchidism and treatment methods of decreasing the germ cells in semin...

Cryptorchidism or undescended testis is one of the most common anomalies encountered in paediatric urology and is estimated to affect 1 to 4 per cent of full term and upto 30 per cent of preterm male neonates. The associated problems of sub-fertility or infertility and malignant transformation have been recognized for long. Fertility is impaired after both unilateral and bilateral cryptorchidis...

UNLABELLED Undescended testis is a common finding in boys, and the majority of cases have no discernible aetiology. There are unexplained geographical differences and temporal trends in its prevalence. Cryptorchidism, especially bilateral, is associated with impaired spermatogenesis and endocrine function and increases the risk of testicular cancer. There is an urgent need to identify factors t...
