Palpable Undescended Testis (PUT) represents a common paediatric problem in many premature and some mature infants. There are several surgical techniques to correct PUT either through combined inguinal and scrotal incision or single transverse scrotal incision. This study assessed single high transverse scrotal incision for the management of PUT as regards to feasibility, postoperative success and final cosmetic results.
