De behandeling van cryptorchidisme : waarom, hoe, wanneeer : klinische studies bij prepuberale jongens
The clinical studies were initiated in 1982 on the understanding that they would be concluded in three years. The studies would be mainly prospective with a few exceptions, e.g. when retrospective evaluation was required. For the doubleblind, placebo-controlled study the population would be limited to 252 patients. While a time limit (mid 1985) was set for the evaluation of the first year of life as well as the surgical studies, the follow-up would be extended to include up-todate information in this dissertation. No clinical study would be started before obtaining the approval of the medical-ethical commission of the University Hospital Rotterdam, Erasmus University School of Medicine. Before any procedure was initiated, every effort would be made to explain this procedure to the boy and his parents in as great a detail as possible, so that informed consent could be obtained from the parents. The children would always be examined by each one of us separately (to enable an unprejudiced opinion) following a standard diagnostic procedure (see 2.3.). ,The boys would always be confronted by these same two doctors only in order to create mutual trust, which would be beneficial to the proceedings.
