Orchiopexy (Testicle Reduction)<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/header>
<\/div>
<\/p>\n

Undescended testicular disease is a condition in which the testicle is in the hernia canal or abdomen, which we call the inguinal canal, instead of the scrotum (bag) where it should be. Differences in the location of the testicle can affect testicular development, resulting in negative consequences such as testicular shrinkage, sperm production disorders in adulthood, infertility, and increased risk of testicular cancer development. These negative effects are known to start at an early age (6 months). <\/strong><\/p>\n

While 2-3 years of age was expected for surgery in the past, it is now recommended around 1 year of age. It can be unilateral or bilateral. Physical examination is valuable in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis should be made with retractile testis (shy testicle) disease. In addition, ultrasonography, MR, laparoscopy (in the presence of testicles that cannot be seen by examination and imaging methods) can be used. In orchiopexy surgery, the testicle is found through an incision made in the groin area, lowered into the scrotum and fixed. The average duration of surgery is between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on the degree of the disease. Hospitalization is 1 day.<\/strong><\/p>\n
