|November 1, 1983
Abstract:
In two patients with cryptorchism orchidectomy was performed because of testicular atrophy and torsion respectively.

This indicates that biopsies should be taken whenever operations are performed on cryptorchid testes, and it may be of importance to biopt all cryptorchid testes at a certain age.
