β¦ Synopsis
101 patients successfully treated for undescended testes with human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) or with HCG followed by surgery reached normal adult heights. Deviations from normal growth in individual patients did not appear to be related either to their earlier undescended testes or to the successful therapy, but rather to their genetic background. Therefore, apart from patients with chromosomal abnormalities and other primary causes for maldescent of the testes, boys with undescended testes show a normal distribution for height and do not represent a different population with regard to growth.
