Surgical Treatment
To reposition the testicle(s) into the scrotum, preventing long-term complications such as infertility and testicular cancer.
- Orchidopexy: A surgical procedure to bring the undescended testicle(s) into the scrotum and secure them in place, typically performed around 1 year of age.
- Laparoscopic orchidopexy: For testicles located higher in the abdomen, a minimally invasive approach may be used to locate and reposition them.
- Post-operative care and follow-up to ensure proper healing, monitor testicular development, and address any potential complications.
