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. This procedure is typically performed on infants or young boys, usually between 6 months and 2 years of age, to prevent potential complications such as infertility or testicular cancer. During the surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision in the groin or abdomen to locate the testicle and then secures it in the scrotum. Orchidopexy is generally considered safe, with a high success rate and minimal risks, allowing for normal development and function of the testicle.
