New metallic ureteral stents: improved tensile strength and resistance to extrinsic compression.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cryptorchidism is a common condition in boys. Approximately 20% of undescended testes are nonpalpable and may be located within the abdominal cavity. Given the potential of these gonads for malignant transformation and infertility, it is essential to determine the presence or absence of a nonpalpable testis....
