The results of 22 section investigations performed are indicative of the limited effectiveness of the existing methods for mobilization of a vascular pedicle of the undescended testicle with the aim of its transposition into the scrotum. Bringing down without stretching of a vascular pedicle is possible only in location of an undescended testicle in the middle or lower third of the inguinal canal. In higher level of location of a testicle, its bringing down by conventional methods is inevitably associated with stretching of a vascular pedicle.
