A new technique in the treatment of high intraabdominal cryptorchidism is proposed: testicular autotransplantation with venous anastomosis only. The technique consists in performing microsurgical anastomosis of the spermatic vein and homolateral inferior epigastric vein only for adequate venous drainage, leaving irrigation of testis to the deferential artery alone. We have utilized this technique in 16 cases and excellent results have been achieved. It has permitted performing surgery in younger patients (2 years). Surgical trauma and the duration of the operation are less compared to the Silber technique. There is a higher success rate and the procedure is easy to perform.
