Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the nosology of cryptorchidism.
  • To present the authors' experience with ultrasound in diagnosing cryptorchidism.
  • To describe the clinical advantages and limitations of ultrasound for cryptorchidism diagnosis and follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • A review of the nosologic classification of cryptorchidism.
  • Retrospective analysis of diagnostic experience using ultrasound.
  • Description of clinical utility, including diagnostic accuracy and follow-up capabilities.
