Abstract

Semen analysis was performed in 142 men who had undergone orchidopexy at age 7-13 1/2 years, 119 for unilateral cryptorchidism and 23 for bilateral cryptorchidism. Fertility potential was related to the original position of the testes: most men who had had unilateral cryptorchidism or bilateral undescended testes in the superficial inguinal pouch produced normal or acceptable semen, whereas those who had had bilateral canalicular or abdominal testes were azoospermic.
