summary

The authors examined 16 males in whom orchiopexy was performed at the prepubertal age due to bilateral cryptorchidism. Spermio­gram, ejaculate fructose level and excretion of 17-ketosteroids in daily urine were determined. In 37.6% of petients aspermia, 31.2% crypto-spermia and in 31.2% oligospermia were found.
