Der Hodenhochstand gehört zu den häufigen Krankheitsbildern im Kindesalter. Trotz umfangreicher Literatur hierzu ist die Ätiologie des Hodenhochstands nicht eindeutig geklärt, und es besteht nach wie vor eine gewisse Unsicherheit über die beste rationale Therapie. Neuere Studien über die hormonelle Steuerung der Hodenentwicklung und den zeitlichen Kontext dieser Hormonwirkung erlauben jedoch eindeutige Empfehlungen für Therapie und Therapiezeitpunkt.
