Abstract: Zusammenfassung HCG‐Behandlung des Hodenhochstandes 128 praepuberale Jungen im Alter zwischen 1 und 12 Jahren wurden wegen eines Hodenhochstandes von den Autoren untersucht. In die Studie wurden Jungen mit retraktilen/beweglichen Hoden nicht aufgenommen. Es erfolgte eine HCG‐Behandlung zweimal wöchentlich über 5 Wochen (1–4 Jahre, n = 53 – 10 times 250 I.E.; 4–7 Jahre, n = 51 – 10 times 500 I.E.; 7–12 Jahre, n = 24–10 times 1000 I.E.). Ein gutes klinisches Resultat (vollständiger Deszensus in das Skrotum) wurd… Show more

“…Authors supporting the first notion believe that retractile testes are cryptorchid as the result of 1) a defect in spermatic cord development; 2) a patent, although partly obliterated vaginal process; or 3) a spasm of the cremaster, like that observed in children with cerebral palsy or spastic dysplasia [220]. Administration of hCG may be useful to distinguish between retractile and cryptorchid testis, because in most cases, only the former descend with this treatment [221,222]. Retractile testes are more frequent in infertile patients with a history of cryptorchidism [223].…”
