Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with bilateral cryptorchidism and its laparoscopic treatment

Abstract

Undescended testis is an entity that should be identified from birth. Even when associated with other malformations, it requires a specialized and multidisciplinary approach. Its association with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is unusual, with a broad spectrum of presentations according to the testicular dysfunction that presents and the consequences of the lack of testosterone action. Diagnostic laparoscopy with laparoscopic orchidopexy is the minimally invasive treatment of choice. We present herein the case of a patient with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with bilateral undescended testis treated with laparoscopic orchidopexy.
