Abstract:
Undescended testis is the most common genitourinary disorder during childhood. The traditional inguinal approach still represents the standard technique to correct undescended testis. However, over the last decades a large number of studies have shown that the scrotal approach has a lower morbidity rate and significantly shorter operation times and offers a good cosmetic result as well as an equal surgical treatment result, which makes it a good alternative to the traditional inguinal approach in gliding and low palpable testis.
