Abstract
To deal with cryptorchidism requires an understanding of the evolution of testicular descent, comparative anatomy, embryology, histology, ultrastructure, endocrinology, and particularly the clinical aspects of hormonal and surgical treatment. It is impossible to comprehend cryptorchidism purely from the viewpoint of endocrinology or pathology.
