Background:

  • Nonpalpable testes are a common pediatric urological concern.
  • Laparoscopy offers minimally invasive options for diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique of laparoscopy and laparoscopically assisted orchidopexy.
  • To evaluate the early outcomes of this procedure for nonpalpable intraabdominal testes.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical technique involving laparoscopy for intraabdominal testes.
  • Laparoscopically assisted orchidopexy performed on 24 patients.

Main Results:

  • Early results in 24 patients with nonpalpable intraabdominal testes are encouraging.
