Laparoscopy is the latest advancement in the evaluation of non-palpable testis. We came across total 41 patients with 52 undescended testis in 2 years. Nineteen out of these patients with 25 undescended testis (six of them had bilateral undescended testis) were subjected to laparoscopic examination, as there testis were impalpable. In 80 of cases, laparoscopy was helpful to locate the testis. In 20% (5/25) of cases laparoscopy helped in avoiding an unnecessary groin exploration. In this paper our experience with laparoscopic examination in impalpable undescended testis is presented.
