Undescended Testis (Orchiopexy) Package
An undescended testis, also called cryptorchidism, is a condition in which one or both testicles have not moved into the scrotum as expected. Early assessment by a paediatric surgeon or specialist is important to determine the position of the testis and the most appropriate treatment.
The Orchiopexy procedure is a commonly performed surgery used to bring an undescended testis into the scrotum and secure it in the correct position. Depending on the child’s age, examination findings, and location of the testis, the surgeon may recommend open or laparoscopic orchiopexy.
This package is designed to support families through the treatment journey, from specialist evaluation and pre-operative assessment to the surgical procedure and follow-up care. Parents can discuss the child’s condition, surgical approach, anesthesia, expected recovery, and post-operative precautions with the treating team.
Timely treatment may help reduce potential complications associated with an undescended testis, including problems related to testicular development, fertility, and future testicular health. The exact treatment plan is determined individually by the specialist.
