High cryptorchidism means above the inguinal canal or relatively high in the retroperitoneum. The recommended surgical procedure for high cryptorchidism: laparoscopic exploration plus descending fixation surgery for high cryptorchidism. The advantage of laparoscopy is that it allows sufficient freeing in the abdominal cavity to find the more highly located cryptorchid, and the laparoscopy is more delicate. Laparoscopy has magnification, so laparoscopy is the best choice for high cryptorchid surgery. The laparoscope has magnification and can clearly find the testicular artery, spermatic cord, and vas deferens, and effectively free the cryptorchid and send it in for fixation.
