Undescended Testes in Children: Why Laparoscopic Surgery Is the Best Approach

Undescended testes (cryptorchidism) is a common condition where a child’s testicle does not move down into the scrotum before birth. Early surgical correction is important to protect future fertility and reduce health risks—and laparoscopic surgery offers clear advantages.

Why surgery at around six months of age is recommended

The differences between open and laparoscopic approaches to correcting the condition

How laparoscopy provides better visualisation, protects vital structures, and improves surgical outcomes

Why laparoscopic surgery results in smaller cuts, faster recovery, and better long-term results for children
