“…Despite early operation performed today (3rd-19th month), infertility is not ameliorated (3). If ASA develop in adulthood, avoiding infertility-one of the goals of surgery-may not be achieved.…”
“…In our study, unilateral undescended testis constitutes 73.3% and the rest was 26.6% bilateral and 80% were located in the superficial inguinal ring and 76.6% of them were associated with hernia. Other study found that bilateral cryptorchidism was 45% and the rest was unilateral [10]. Cendron et al documented the position of testis at the time of surgery and found that position at tubercle represent 42% and at inguinal canal was 12% [14].…”

“…This may be due to the impaired spermatogenesis that is characterized histologically in the first months of life by an increasing reduction in the testosterone-producing Leydig cells, delayed onset of spermatogonia, and a quantitatively and qualitatively reduced maturation process of the germ cells [9]. Another cause of infertility in those patients is development of antisperm antibodies (ASA) despite early operation performed between third to ninth months; infertility is not ameliorated [10]. Surgeon is often puzzled by postoperative development of ASA later on [11].…”
Background: Undescended testis is the commonest genital malformation in boys. Men with a history of undescended testis have a reduced probability of fertility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
