orchidopexy

Orchidopexy is a surgical procedure used to correct an undescended testicle, a condition where one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum before birth. During the surgery, the doctor makes a small incision in the groin or scrotum to locate the testicle and move it into the correct position in the scrotum. This procedure is typically performed on infants or young children to prevent complications such as infertility or testicular cancer later in life. Orchidopexy is generally a straightforward operation with a good success rate and involves a short recovery period.
