From October 1985 to October 1988, fourty-nine impalpable testis in 39 patients were treated. The ages of the patients ranged from lyear 10 months to 11 years. There were fixed testis into scrotum (in 24 cases), superficial layer of aponeurosis of musculus obliquus externus abdominis (in 4 cases), autotransplantation (in 7 cases), and testectomy (in 11 cases). No testis in 3 cases were conformed in exploration. The author suggestes it necessary to do exploration early in impalpable testis of children to obtain good physiologic function of testis.
