Undescended testicle surgery is known as orchidopexy or orchiopexy. Orchidopexy is a surgical procedure performed to correct cryptorchism (undescended testicles) and testicle torsion. 

When one or both of the child’s testicles have not descended within a month or two after birth, it is called undescended testicles.

During the fetal stage, the testicles develop in the abdomen and are then descended into the scrotum after birth. 

When one or both testes are not found in the scrotum, it can lead to further complications.

About 3-4% newborn babies are diagnosed with undescended testes, and it is common in preterm babies.

80% cases involve one undescended testicle, and only 20% involve both sides.

Orchidopexy is usually performed when your child is 6-18 months old.

We understand this can be overwhelming, and you might be worried about the cost of corrective surgeries.
