Undescended Testes / Orchidopexy
Undescended testes are common affecting 1% of one year old males.
Expert assessment is required to determine whether the testicle is present or absent, retractile or ectopic.
Undescended testis, if present, should be mobilised and fixed in the scrotum before the age of 2 years to ensure its optimal development.
