EPIDEMIOLOGY, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CRYPTORCHIDISM UNDER PRESENT-DAY CONDITIONS

Abstract

Cryptorchidism is one of the most common abnormalities of sexual maturation. In adults, the disease often leads to serious complications such as infertility, testicular hypotrophy, and testicular cancer. By assumptions of some authors, the frequency of occurrence of these complications depends not only on the form of cryptorchidism, but also period to surgical treatment. The present review is concerned with the analysis of published data for the prevalence, causes, and pathogenesis of complications of cryptorchism. In addition, comparisons between different methods of treatment of cryptorchidism, particularly, in relation to the period of treatment, are presented.
