Absent scrotal ligament or the aligamentous testicle is a clinicopathologic entity which plays an important role in the genesis of male infertility. Twenty-four cases of aligamentous testicle, collected from 300 idiopathic infertile subjects, were studied. Clinical, endocrine, semen, and testicular biopsies were performed. The criteria of diagnosis of the aligamentous testicle are outlined and the role in infertility is discussed. Eighteen infertile patients with aligamentous testicle were treated by orchiopexy aiming to create an artificial scrotal ligament. The technique is described. The results were satisfactory. Failures were due to bad selection of patients.
