This book provides a state of the art overview of all aspects of
testicular descent and cryptorchidism, including the mechanisms of
descent and the causes, consequences, diagnosis, and treatment of
undescended testis. The advances in understanding that have been
achieved over the past two decades are clearly explained, covering
the latest genetic information on the causes of normal and abnormal
testicular descent, the role of INSL3 in transabdominal migration,
and the evidence that a neurotransmitter released from the
genitofemoral nerve mediates androgenic control of inguinoscrotal
descent. Exciting changes in the management of both congenital and
acquired cryptorchidism, such as the widespread use of laparoscopy
for impalpable testes inside the abdominal cavity, are fully
described. Evidence for the benefits of orchidopexy within the
first year of life is reviewed, and an individual chapter is also
devoted to hormonal treatment. Throughout the book due attention is
given to ongoing controversies and divergences of opinion. This new
edition of Descent of the Testis will be a timely update and
valuable reference for all who are involved in research into
testicular descent and management of cryptorchidism.
