Testicular autotransplantation in children. 1983

J Upton, and S R Schuster, and A H Colodny, and J E Murray

A series of 10 microvascular autotransfers of impalpable intraabdominal testes has been reported. The viability rate was 60 percent as determined by growth and size of the transferred testis. Long-term endocrine and fertility studies are needed to determine the function of these gonads. The spermatic vasculature was unpredictable and showed many variations. Indications should be very carefully individualized.
