[Cryptorchidism and fertility].

This article describes a fertility study based on 490 cases of surgically treated undescended testicles. Some of the patients were seen very early, and others later, even after puberty. The results are assessed as a function of the onset of pregnancy, or, failing this, on the basis of spermograms, and as a function of whether one or both testicles were undescended. Among the married patients with a unilateral complaint, the paternity rate was 69 p. cent, failing to 43 per cent for bilateral cases. Their spermograms showed an average count of 33.7 X 10(6)/ml for unilateral cryptorchids, and 3.66 X 10(6)/ml for bilateral. The surgical attitude to be adopted is discussed with particular emphasis on patients seen late.

[Urethral stricture: single-stage urethroplasty by a free skin flap].

A single-stage procedure involving the use of a free skin flap for the correction of urethral strictures was performed on eighteen patients. In this series, the strictures were mainly located in the region of the bulbar urethra. Good results were obtained in fourteen cases (80 per cent) out of the eighteen, with a two year followup, or less. The method is simple and effective. In the authors' experience, it has provided a higher success rate than any other procedure described to date. In view of this high success rate, and the equivalent successes reported in the literature, the authors consider that this technique, and urethrotomy, constitute the treatment of choice for urethral stenosis.
