[Comparative assessment of the methods for surgical treatment of cryptorchism]

The experience with the surgical treatment of 305 cases of cryptorchism is presented. 108 Keetly and Torek's operations and 22 Mixter's operations have proved that in surgical technic the main emphasis should be transferred to the mobilization of the spermatic cord elements, but the orchoifixation should be simple and atraumatic. The Fowler's method of the descent of the testicles (107) in superficial inguinal ectopy and various modifications of the Petriwalsky's method of the descent of the testicles (43) in high inguinal retention and abdominal cryptorchism have made a favorable impression.
