cryptochordism

As good timing would have it,I was currently discussing
with colleagues on this side of the ocean,what is the
definition/risks of cryptochordism
If the testes are in the scrotum but high up,just outside
of the inguinal canal-is this also cryptochordism?does
this have an increased risk of torsion,dysgenesis,etc..
In other words does this require treatment.If so,is there
a reason why hormone injection might be more successful in
this picture than a testicle higher up.
Thanking you in advance for your comments.
