The German guidelines, first published in 2009, proposed the timing of orchidopexy to be before 12\u00a0months of age. The aim of the study was to analyze the implementation of these guidelines 10\u00a0years after publication. The national cumulative statistics of hospital admissions, provided by the Institute for the Remuneration System in Hospitals (InEK), and the statistics concerning procedures performed in private pediatric surgical practices of the professional association of pediatric surgeons (BNKD) regarding the time of surgeries for the year 2019 were analyzed. Data from InEK included all German hospital admissions. Data from BNKD included data from 48 private pediatric surgical practices. The hospitals treated 6476 inpatients with undescended testis, and 3255 patients were operated in private practices. Regarding the age at treatment, 15% of the hospital patients and 5% of the private practice patients were younger than 1\u00a0year and fulfilled the guideline recommendations. Forty percent of the hospital patients and 29% of the private practice patients were 1 or 2\u00a0years of age. All other patients were 3\u00a0years of age or older at the time of orchidopexy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>\u00a0 Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    : The rate of orchidopexy within the first 12\u00a0months of life is remarkably low even 10\u00a0years after the publication of the guidelines.

The German guidelines, published in 2009, sets the time-limit at one year of age. Until five years after publication of the German guidelines, the number of patients treated before the first year of life was low; studies show an orchidopexy ratebetween 8% and 19% during this time.<\/jats:italic>\n                            <\/jats:td>\n                          <\/jats:tr>\n                          <jats:tr>\n                            <jats:td colspan=\"2\">\n                              <jats:bold>What is New:<\/jats:bold>\n                              <jats:italic>\u2022\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                              <jats:italic>This study the first to cover all administered hospital patients in Germany and a large group of patients treated in private practices.
