ABSTRACT
25 cases [26 testes] of cryptorchidism, were studied clinically, and histopathologically [light and electron microscopy]. Cases were divided into 3 age groups Preschool [1-5 years] 8 testes, prepubertal [6-15 years] 9 testes and postpubertal [16-35 years] 9 testes. Position of the testes included intraabdominal [7 tests], intracanalicular [14 tests], at external ring [3 tests], and inguinal ectopic [2 tests]. Wedge testicular biobsies during one stage orchiopexy [25 testes], and orchiectomy [one testes], were subjected for light and electron microscopic studies in relation to different age groups, and site of testicular arrest. It is concluded that the pathological changes in seminiferous tubules start to appear by the age of 2 years in light microscopic study. On the other hand, mitochondria changes start to appear by the age of one year in electron microscopic study. In addition, these changes are a continuous process. There is also a significant relation between histopathological changes and site of arrest, where maximal changes appear in intraabdominal ones. Orchiopexy was recommended to be done at earlier age by one to two years of age to retain maximal testicular function
