The authors show their experience in the use of the laparoscopic approach in 18 cases of unilateral exploratory anorchia. They highlight the advantages that this method offers in efficiency, speed, security and minimal aggression compared with conventional exploration of the inguinal channel in the search of the undetectable testis. In the 18 cases studied through the insertion of 5 mm lense in the umbilical area, it was established that a testicular hypoplasia was present in 8 cases. In another 5 cases testicular agenesia was diagnosed, and in the remaining 5, intraabdominal testis were found. In four of these testicles, a laparoscopic approach helped in their correct placement and also in the removal of the fifth in a patient with recurrent leukemia.
