“…This regression process allows further migra tion of the testis within the peritoneal fold that formerly carried the gubernaculum proper. The hypothesis put forward by Bedford [12] and Hadziselimovic [6], claim ing a role for the epididymis in normal descent, has not been substantiated.…”

“…Dependence of the process of testicular descent on androgens and/or gonadotropins has been suggested [1,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. An intact hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis is also claimed to be required for normal testicular descent [6], Hormonal therapy of testicualr maldescent either by hCG, LH-RH or testosterone is based on these assumptions. Clear scientific proof on these matters is however lacking.…”

“…Although Bramann (1884) and Hadziselimovic (1983) proposed a role for the epididymis in testicular descent and although androgens have an important influence on the process, most authors consider that the gubernaculum testis plays a major role in guiding the testis into the scrotum. Both size and composition of the gubernaculum change during the descent process.…”
