Objective: To analyze the status of endocrine functions and spermatogenesis in adult patients with non-treated unilateral anguinal testicles. Material and Methods: A total of 14 adult men with unilateral testis were studied. We evaluated sperm quality n=8 and total testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicular stimulating hormone levels n=11 retrospectively. Results: Mean age was 21.92 ± 2.23 years. Ascending testis at 9 years old was in one patient and non-successful orchiopexy at 5 years old was in one patient. Other patients that studied were primary cases. Nine of the cases were right sided and five were left. Mean total testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicular stimulating hormone levels were 4.42±1.24 ng/ml;7.56±4.1mIU/ml; 8.59±6.68mIU/ml. Azoospermia was observed in only one patient. Mean sperm volume was 1.93±1.2ml, average of sperm concentration was 53.8±41.3 sperm/mL x106 , average percent of normal sperm morphology was 78.1±17.1% and average percent of rapid and slow progressive motility a + b was 41.4±24.2%. Conclusions: There were abnormalities in sperm quality in patients with unilateral anguinal testis and normal contralateral testis.
