Patient's question:
The child has cryptorchidism, what should I do? Is cryptorchidism easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
Most undescended testicle cases in children will naturally descend into the scrotum within the first few months after birth. However, if the testicle has not descended into the scrotum by the time the child is 9 months old, medical treatment is required. Orchiopexy (surgical fixation of the testicle) is the primary method for treating undescended testicles. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic treatment for undescended testicles has several advantages: it preserves the anatomical structure of the inguinal region, does not damage the cremaster muscle, and allows for precise localization of the testicle or confirmation of absence of a testicle, avoiding blind exploration. It also enables high-level relaxation of the spermatic cord, allowing it to descend tension-free to the bottom of the scrotum for fixation. This is currently the ideal approach for treating undescended testicles.
