Article Title: Laparoscopy for evaluation of cryptorchid testis
Abstract: Four male patients with a unilateral nonpalpable testis were considered for laparoscopy. Preoperative evaluation by computerized tomography and ultrasonography failed to demonstrate cryptorchid testis. Laparoscopy clearly identified the anatomy in all 4 cases. Two patients had an absent testis, 1 patient underwent orchiectomy for a dysmorphic testis, and 1 patient underwent orchiopexy for a testis located within the inguinal canal. Pediatric laparoscopy is an effective and safe adjunct in the management of cryptorchid testis. © 1992.
