Undescended Testicle Surgery (Orchidopexy) in India
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is Undescended Testicle (Cryptorchidism)?
Undescended testicle, medically known as cryptorchidism, is a condition in which one or both testicles fail to move down into the scrotum before birth. Normally, the testicles descend during fetal development, but in some cases, they remain in the abdomen or groin.
This condition is common in premature infants and requires timely medical evaluation.
Why is Orchidopexy Surgery Done?
Orchidopexy is performed to:
- Move the testicle into the correct position in the scrotum
- Reduce the risk of infertility in the future
- Lower the chances of testicular cancer
- Prevent complications like testicular torsion or injury
- Improve normal physical development and appearance
Early surgical correction significantly improves long-term outcomes.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for Orchidopexy in India?
Candidates for orchidopexy include:
- Infants whose testicles have not descended by 6 months of age
- Children with one or both undescended testicles
- Patients with retractile or ectopic testicles (in some cases)
- Adolescents or adults diagnosed later with undescended testicle
Doctors evaluate the position of the testicle and overall health before recommending surgery.
Types of Orchidopexy Surgery
The surgical approach depends on the location of the testicle:
1. Inguinal Orchidopexy
The most common procedure for testicles located in the groin.
2. Laparoscopic Orchidopexy
A minimally invasive approach used when the testicle is located inside the abdomen.
3. Two-Stage Orchidopexy
Performed in complex cases where the testicle cannot be moved in a single procedure.
4. Fowler-Stephens Procedure
Used for high abdominal testicles, often done in stages.
These procedures aim to safely reposition and fix the testicle in the scrotum.
Diagnostic Tests Done Before Orchidopexy
Before surgery, doctors may recommend:
- Physical examination
- Ultrasound imaging
- MRI or CT scan (in complex cases)
- Hormonal tests (if needed)
- Diagnostic laparoscopy (to locate non-palpable testicles)
These tests help determine the exact position of the testicle and plan the surgery.
