Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This prospective interventional study aimed at the preoperative sonographic estimation of the testicular volume of the normal side in case of contralateral impalpable maldescended testis in order to predict the condition of the diseased side and hence the need for diagnostic laparoscopy.
