Cryptorchidism is the absence of one or both testes from the scrotum. It is the most common birth defect of the male genital.The Greek word Kryptos means hidden and Orchis means testicle. It was first described in the medical literature in 1786 by Hunter. The first surgical orchidopexy was attempted in 1820 by Rosenmerkal. However, it was not until 1877 that Annandale performed the first successful orchiopexy.
