Patient's question:
Generally, as the fetus grows and develops, the testicles descend from the retroperitoneal lumbar region into the fetal body and later into the scrotum. If they encounter obstruction during this descent, cryptorchidism may occur. Which department should a child with cryptorchidism be seen in?Doctor's answer:
What department should you go to for undescended testicle surgery in children, depending on regional differences. In some places, pediatric surgery has a three-level classification, including general surgery, urology, neurosurgery, and neonatal surgery. In other places, there may not be a separate pediatric surgery department, so adult surgeons may also perform undescended testicle surgery. If there is a pediatric surgery department, it is recommended to go to the pediatric urology department if there is one. Specifically, you can consider visiting a regular and professional hospital.
