The efficacy of adult orchidopexy as a treatment of male infertility: our experience of 20 cases.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine whether adult orchidopexy and testicular sperm extraction are effective or not as a treatment of infertility. In this study, we could not show the efficacy of orchidopexy as a treatment of infertility in adulthood, and testicular sperm extraction can be a useful treatment for adult patients with unilateral undescended testis.
