Benefits
The benefits of orchidopexy surgery include:
- Placing an undescended testicle in its normal position in the scrotum. This may improve the testicle’s function and prevent it from being damaged.
- Easier to examine testicles and check for any problems during adulthood like testicular cancer.
- Helps prevent fertility problems and may reduce the risk of testicular cancer.
- Surgery can boost self-esteem. A scrotum that is empty or partially empty can make a child feel bad about himself and his body, especially during adolescence.
- This surgery reduces the risk of testicular injury. A boy is more likely to sustain a sports injury if his testicles are in the groin than the abdomen.
Risks
Possible complications include:
- Infection.
- Bleeding or blood clots in the scrotum.
- The testicles move out of the scrotum again (reascend) after surgery and need more treatment. This is rare.
- If the sperm tube or blood vessels are damaged during the operation, this can result in insufficient blood getting to the testicle. This can cause testicle atrophy.
