The following values were analysed: primary and secondary sexual characteristics, the possible sexual disturbances, penile volume and the diameter of the testes, the serum testosterone, HCG, FSH, and LH level, sperm and immune peroxidase examination, and histologic study of both testes. The absence of sexual disturbances and the normal primary and secondary sexual characteristics were explained by the results of hormonal assays and these also showed that in adults there is no possibility to improve fertility by hormones. Early operation at 2 years of age at the latest is the only possibility to prevent in- or subfertility. The intervention prevents secondary damage to the retained and to the contralateral testicle.
