Surgical tactics of treatment of a cryptorchism in the specializes uroandrological center

Abstract

Cryptorchism is a polyetiological disease that may affect one or two undescended testicles. In the Medical Center of Male Health in Stavropol an algorithm of active detection, treatment and monitoring of patients with cryptorchism has been developed and successfully applied. This leads to the identification of different forms of cryptorchism in the early stages. Using precise surgical techniques allows to avoid complications such as testicular atrophy and disease recurrence. Furthermore, active postoperative surveillance and hormone rehabilitation minimizes the risk of male infertility.
