TL;DR: In this paper, a knowledge of the high incidence of associated injuries is mandatory to the complete care of these patients, and surgical repair, drainage, and urinary diversion should be performed in the vast majority of patients.

TL;DR: Current evidence clearly shows a variable degree of primary intrinsic gonadal dysgenesis with a frequent impairment of fertility in the cryptorchid testis, regardless of the time of treatment.

TL;DR: The incidence of cryptorchidism after the first year of age approximates 0.8 per cent of the male population as discussed by the authors, however, spontaneous descent may occur especially during the first three months of age but relatively rarely thereafter.

TL;DR: Tung et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that a permanent high nonphysiologic environmental temperature makes the blood-testis barrierpermeable by immunocompetent cells.

TL;DR: In the first year of life, cryptorchid testes do not show any pathologic changes other than one of malpositioning within the first half of life as discussed by the authors, but by the third year, histologic alterations become apparent in all structures, including a marked increase in the number of mitochondria, which later degenerate and develop vacuoles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pampiniform-like plexus demonstrated by venography at the peripheral portion of a gonadal vein was found to indicate the presence of a testis.

TL;DR: The universal ureteral stent is an 8F soft silicone rubber tube 90cm.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for the treatment of acute and secondary adrenal insufficiency in patients with known or suspected pituitary-adrenal disease, and for the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of patients without previously established disease.
