Core Tip	Among over 300 children with undescended testis underwent operation, 15% of children had impalpable testis. The review studies the use of laparoscopy as the initial management of children with impalpable testes. Compared with children with bilateral impalpable testes, children with unilateral impalpable testis had an increased need for subsequent inguinal exploration and a lower incidence of successful orchidopexy. Laparoscopy is a safe procedure with no intra-operative complication encountered in this study.
