Abstract

Undescended or ectopic testis should be operated to avoid complications like loss of function, malignant change, and trauma. Though some pediatric Surgeons are doing the operation at the age of 2 years, for most general Surgeons, the ideal age of the patient for operation should be 3-4 years. Orchidopexy consists of mobilization of testis and spermatic cord and retaining the testis in scrotum.
