Nine children have been examined for iatrogenic cryptorchidism during a four year period. Wound infection and testicular retractility appear to be factors predisposing to this complication. Routine testicular palpation for position at the completion of hernia repair and the use of orchidopexy in selected patients should aid in the prevention of this problem.
