2. CRYPTORCHIDISM

2.1 BACKGROUND

The incidence of maldescensus testis after the first year of life is 1.8-2%. A distinction is made between abdominal, inguinal or prescrotal testis retention and epifascial, femoral or penodorsal testis ectopy. Sliding and pendulous (retractile) testes are particular variations of cryptorchidism. Sliding testis with a too short spermatic cord relocates into its non-physiological position when pulled into the scrotum and then released. Pendulous (retractile) testis with hypertrophic cremaster muscle fibres is associated with an intermittent retraction of the usually orthotopic testis.
