Orchiopexy

Orchiopexy is a surgical procedure used to correct an undescended testicle, a condition known as cryptorchidism. During fetal development, testicles typically descend from the abdomen into the scrotum before or shortly after birth. In cases where one or both testicles fail to descend, complications such as reduced fertility, increased risk of testicular cancer, and developmental issues can arise.

At Aster MIMS Kottakkal, our experienced surgeons perform orchiopexy to reposition the undescended testicle(s) into the scrotum and secure them in place. This procedure is typically recommended for young boys between 6 months and 2 years, though it can also be performed in older boys and adults if necessary.
