An undescended testicle can be found in about 3-4% of all newborns and in 21-23% of all premature infants. In most of the young patients, the testicle will descend spontaneously during the first year of life. Thus, at the end of the second year of life, an undescended position of the testis will remain in 1-2% of all children. Since the first successful surgical treatment of the undescended testicle by Max Schüller 120 years ago in Munich, many various surgical procedures have been described. This paper gives an overview starting with the historical development of the operative treatment of the undescended testicle and leading up to the modern techniques used today.
约3-4%的新生儿及21-23%的早产儿存在睾丸未降情况。在大多数年轻患者中，睾丸会在出生后第一年自行下降。因此，到两岁末时，所有儿童中仍有1-2%的睾丸处于未降位置。自120年前马克斯·舒勒在慕尼黑首次成功实施睾丸未降的外科治疗以来，已描述了许多不同的外科手术方法。本文从睾丸未降手术治疗的历史发展开始概述，直至介绍当今所使用的现代技术。
