- Abstract
Undescended testis is a common congenital abnormality. The main complications are infertility and venue of malignant testicular tumor. If early orchiopexy can prevent infertility, it remains a high risk of venue of a malignant tumor. So, the best technique of orchiopexy is that which allows an easy clinical follow-up of the undescended testis after surgical treatment, and doesn't involv the hematoseminal barrier. From the analysis of fourty cases of scrotal pouch orchiopexy and a review of the literature, it appears that this procedure is efficient and gives more than 90% of good results.
