Summary
Boys with cryptorchism should be treated, according to the recommendation of the European Urological Society, treated up to 18 months of age. In spite of that numerous patients are operated on at later periods of time.
The aim of the study was to find out, how is the recommendation observed and reasons, why the part of the patients is operated on later. The results of the evaluation of our cohort indicate a continuing low awareness of the more stringent requirements for the time of the treatment. The hormonal therapy should not follow to delay of surgical therapy of cryptorchism. The ascensus of testis is not a rare disease. It is therefore necessary, within the framework of obligatory preventive examination, to examine the position of testis in scrotum.
Key words:
cryptorchism, orchidopexis, ascensus of testis
