[Laparoscopic orchiectomy for intraabdominal cryptorchism and varicocelectomy].

Laparoscopic procedures have recently been used in the evaluation and treatment of some urogenital diseases. A case of right intraabdominal cryptorchism associated with left varicocele was successfully treated by laparoscopic orchiectomy and ligation of the contralateral internal spermatic vein concomitantly. This new technology can be easily performed and has the advantages of less tissue trauma, easy application for bilateral lesions, and less patient morbidity. We consider laparoscopy is a promising method for the diagnosis and treatment of intraabdominal testis.
