[Sexual development of boys, treated surgically for dystopia of testicles (author's transl)].

A clinical follow-up examination was made in a group of 208 children and adolescents who had undergone surgical treatment for congenital cryptorchid testis (unilateral or bilateral) between 2 and 10 years before. The puberal growth and maturing process of the primary and secondary sex characteristics of this morbidity group was compared to that of normal juveniles. The examination was made according to clinical criteria: length and circumference of the penis, volume of testes, general development of the genitals, pubic hair. Compared to normal juveniles, the genital development of the children and adolescents of the follow-up examinations series was retarded.
