Summary
The testes in a boy are located inside the abdominal cavity during early fetal life. They come down along the inguinal region (groin) to lie within the scrotum at birth. The surgery to mobilize and bring the UDT back into the scrotum called “orchidopexy” is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgical approach depends on the location of the UDT.
