Successful in vitro fertilization in a 30 years old man with bilateral abdominal cryptorchidism

Abstract

Retention of the testis is one of the most common congenital malformation in male infants. The incidence of this disease is 1–2% at 1 year of age. As nonpalpable are reported around 20% of cases and in up to 30% of neonates may affect both sides. For optimal results, orchidopexy should be performed between the ages of six and eighteen months. We presented a rare case of successful in vitro fertilization after laparoscopic Fowler-Stephens orchidopexy in 30 years old man with bilateral abdominal cryptorchidism.
