Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: cryptorchid boys, particularly those with bilateral cryptorchidism who underwent orchiopexy, had altered levels of serum biomarkers of Sertoli cells and germ cells and smaller testicular volumes compared with controls.

Reviewers´ commentary: at the age of full pubertal maturation, boys who have required orchidopexy have a smaller testicular size than those with spontaneous descent and without cryptorchidism; in boys with bilateral cryptorchidism, FSH levels are higher and inhibin B levels are lower.
