About Open Orchidopexy

Open orchidopexy is a surgical procedure performed by a urologist to correct an undescended testicle (cryptorchidism). During this operation, the surgeon makes a small incision in the groin or lower abdomen to locate the undescended testicle, carefully mobilizes it, and then secures it in its correct anatomical position within the scrotum. This procedure is crucial for preserving fertility, reducing the risk of testicular cancer, and preventing complications like testicular torsion. It is typically recommended for infants and young children but can be performed on older patients if the condition was not addressed earlier. Open orchidopexy is a common and effective solution with a high success rate.

PATIENT REVIEW

Pari Miller is a 4-year-old boy...

Pari Miller is a 4-year-old boy with a love for dinosaurs and running around his backyard. His parents, first-time parents in their late 30s, noticed his right testicle was not in the scrotum during diaper changes as an infant. Their pediatrician monitored it, hoping it would descend on its own, but it never did. During a routine check-up before starting preschool, the pediatrician confirmed the undescended testicle (cryptorchidism) was still high in the groin. She referred them to a pediatric urologist, Dr. Evans, who explained that leaving it could increase future risks of infertility, hernia, or testicular torsion. He recommended an open orchidopexy to carefully move the testicle into the scrotum and secure it. The day of surgery was nerve-wracking for Pari's parents, though the hospital staff was wonderful with him, letting him bring his favorite stuffed triceratops. The procedure itself, under general anesthesia, lasted about an hour and was successful. Recovery involved a few days of careful play, managing mild discomfort with pain medication, and a follow-up visit to check the healing. A month later, Pari was back to his energetic self, with the testicle now in the correct position. His parents felt a huge wave of relief, having turned their long-held worry into proactive care, and were grateful they could address this early for his long-term health.
