Management of an unusually high postpubertal presentation of cryptorchidism.

A high proportion (43%) of postpubertal presentation of cryptorchid testes was found in 114 patients with undescended testes (UDT). Bilateral presentation of UDT was observed in 25% of patients. Orchiopexy was performed on 75% of postpubertal cases, the determinant factor for choice of operation being cosmetic and psychological. Follow-up results appear to be promising in this environment with very low incidence of testicular cancer.
