Results In these series only 25 cases (10.9%) underwent surgical treatment within 2 years of age.Surgical operations were performed in these cases (289 sides) and the locations of the undescended testicles were determined.Of them 273 ones underwent primary descending and fixation,15 ones underwent resection and histopathological examinations for mahgnant or shrinked tendency 1 was absent during the detection,and they were followed up for 4 months to 5 years with the success rate being 98.9 %.Of these cases 260 ones(90.0%) were external abdominal;25 ones (8.7%) were intra-abdominal;4 ones were missing (1.4%).For external abdominal testicles the positive ratio of detections by B-ultrasonography was 86.3%(126/146) and that of physical examination was 63.0% (92/146),which showed statistically significant difference ( P
