February 17Feb 17 quote from "Pediatric Surgery (Springer Surgery Atlas)" by Prem Puri, Michael E. Höllwarth -"Consensus is building that the crucial step in postnatal germ cell maturation is transformation of neonatal gonocytes into type A spermatogonia in the second 6 months after birth; hence the current recommendation for orchidopexy is at 6 months of age. Prevention of germ-cell loss is the aim of surgery, although this effect remains unproven."
