ABSTRACT
Three hundred and twenty-eight prepubertal boys with cryptorchidism who had orchiopexy were reviewed in regard to the attachment of the gubernaculum. Normal attachment of the gubernaculum was found in only 19 out of 240 unilateral testes (8%), and in 12 out of 176 testes (7%) of 88 patients with bilateral cryptorchidism. Abnormal attachment of the gubernaculum was found in 307 out of 338 testes (91%). These data suggest that hormonal therapy for undescended testis may be effective in only 9% of the cases with cryptorchidism, and it cannot replace surgery.
