Surgical treatment of undescended testicle

As a baby boy grows inside his mother, he develops testicles. Early in his development, his testicles are in his belly. Normally, before he is born, his testicles move down into his scrotum, the sac that hangs below the penis. When one testicle does not move into the scrotum as it should, the baby has an undescended testicle. In rare cases, both testicles are undescended.

It is very important to detect as soon as possible anomalies in the position of the testicles and if necessary, provide effective surgical treatment. All types of abnormally located testicles, except the ones classified as migrant, need surgical treatment ideally prior or at 1 year of age. This increases the possibility of a normal development and locates the testes in a more accessible position. Depending on the anatomical location, the treatment can be done by laparoscopy or by open technique. To design the best diagnostic route, it is of the outmost importance the opinion of an experienced pediatric surgeon.

After surgery

Your child will be able to go home one day after surgery. He may have some soreness, swelling, and bruising in the groin area for a few days. The swelling and bruising will go away. Medications will help relieve the soreness.

You should also know:

  • Your child will have skin glue instead of a bandage. It will fall off in 1-2 weeks. It is OK if it gets wet.
  • Your child may have a sore throat on the day of surgery. They may also have red marks on their face. These are from tape used during surgery.
  • You should check your child’s surgical cut each time you change his diaper (every 3-4 hours) or when he goes to the bathroom.
  • Your child may have an upset stomach or throw up after anesthesia. Start off with things like juices, popsicles, water or ice.
  • If your child is hungry, give them a small, light meal. For example, they can try eating some toast with no butter, plain rice or applesauce.
  • Make sure your child drinks plenty of liquids.
  • Your child should be very careful walking and doing basic activities for 24 hours after the end of their surgery. Having general anesthesia can affect their coordination.
  • No sports, bike riding or straddle toys, walkers, swings, jumpers, climbing structures, etc. for 2 weeks. Try to keep your child’s activity level low during this time.
