How is the testicle treated on the scrotum after orchiopexy?

Patient's question:

Last week, due to feeling unwell, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and subsequently underwent surgery as recommended by the doctor. However, the doctor discovered an abnormality: the testicle in the scrotum had not been removed during the orchiopexy surgery. I am quite concerned about whether this situation will recur in my case. If it does, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your current condition, it is generally recommended to undergo surgical treatment for undescended testicles to avoid affecting the development of the reproductive organs. However, adult-type undescended testicles are more prone to testicular malignancy. It is advised that you seek a professional urology and andrology department for a clear diagnosis. Based on the specific situation, choose surgical excision as a treatment method to prevent malignancy.
