Orchiopexy in the prune belly syndrome.

It has been suggested that abdominal testes might have better ultimate function if brought to the scrotum at a very early age.

The results in these patients support the view that an orchiopexy in the neonate or young infant offers the best chance of obtaining viable testes in the scrotum.
