Abstract
A new technique for a single-stage laparoscopic mobilization and fixat ion of impalpable testes is described. It offers the advantages of min imally invasive surgery and keeps other options available, including a two-stage procedure. Early results are encouraging, and a multicenter trial is necessary for further evaluation. Copyright (C) 1995 by W.B. Saunders Company
