Abstract

Testicular descent is a complex mechanism influenced by hormonal and anatomical factors. Whatever the age of the patient or the descent technique used for either one or both testes, there is a risk of degeneration and sterility counts. Anatomical studies and the results of sperm are important, hence the importance of establishing a precise anatomical and therapeutic classification.
