Purpose: A brief description of laparoscopic orchiectomy for undescended testis and a representative case report.
Methods: A 22-year-old Chinese man was admitted for removal of an intra-abdominal testis. Laparoscopic orchiectomy was used to remove the testis at the time of laparoscopic orchiectomy. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
Results: A concurrent inguinal hernia was discovered during the procedure and repaired.
Conclusions: The use of laparoscopic surgery has proven to be a safe and effective means of treatment for the intra-abdominal testis.

At present, there is no unique or recommended management for ASH, and different surgical treatments have been proposed. Despite an open surgical approach being the most common treatment, the use of laparoscopy has also previously been described.
