Commentary on: Referral Patterns for Undescended Testis: A 7 Year Comparative Analysis of Primary Care Providers

Lewis et al. present an interesting manuscript regarding the referral patterns from primary care physicians for undescended testicles1. Their study identifies that the majority of providers (including pediatrics, medicine/pediatrics, and family medicine) refer patients outside of the recommended timeframe as stated in the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines. Additionally, they find that most referring providers cite their residency as their source of education although the majority of the respondents finished their residency prior to the publication of the cryptorchidism guidelines in 2014.
