What should be done about unilateral cryptorchidism? What are the risks of surgery, and what will it bring after surgery?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I have a hidden testicle on one side? What are the risks of surgery, and what impact will it have after the surgery?

Doctor's answer:

If it is a unilateral cryptorchidism, at your age, surgical treatment should be chosen. If it is not mentioned that this testicle is in the developmental stage, it may affect your future fertility. Therefore, my suggestion is that surgical treatment should be performed. There is no significant risk in surgery; it is simply to remove it. The only risk is that it may not be able to be removed. Do you have any other questions? If you are satisfied with my answer, please give an evaluation.
