In the second paragraph of page 9, it was written that the cremasteric reflex peaks in boys 5–8 years old (Bingöl-Kologlu et al., 2001) and it is generally accepted that retractile testis may represent hyperactivity of the cremasteric reflex (Farrington, 1968; Tanyel, 2004). Since two articles of ours are cited (Bingöl-Kologlu et al., 2001; Tanyel, 2004), this sentence tells that we agree on the views about the effect of cremasteric reflex on the localization of a testis. However, it is clearly described in those mentioned articles that cremasteric reflex cannot explain the suprascrotal localization of a testis. Therefore those articles oppose to the idea of the place of the cremasteric reflex, which is very contrary to their use in the aforementioned article.
