[Morphometric Investigations of Regularly Descended Testicles of Children (author's transl)]

On 89 regularly descended, autoptically obtained testicles, the following morphometric investigations were performed: Calculations of the volums, the mean diameter of the tubuli seminiferi, the total lenght of the tubuli, the mean content of spermatogonia per cross section of one tubulus seminiferus, and the total number of spermatogonia. The testicles evaluated have been obtained from children at the age of one day to fourteen years. The calculation of normal values of quantitatively assessed testicle structures are of fundamental importance for the estimation of the morphological significance of congenitally dystopic testicles.
