An attempt has been made to cover the current concepts as to classification of the undescended testis and to outline the management principles of these cases in children and in adults. While long‐term results have still not been compiled in sufficient quantity or over a long enough period, functional success in our view is very much dependent upon placing a viable testis in the scrotum before the patients is aged ten years.
