Abstract
A cryptorchid testis within aa open processus vaginalis is a frequent operative finding. An almost obligate additional epididymal dissociati on (90%) and a ST-Index (Spermatogonia per tubulus) of 0-0.2 in over 5 0% of the patients are an indication of a complex and severe form of c ryptorchidism. Postoperative treatment with a LHRH-analogon (Buserelin ) is recommended.
