It is possible to do undescended testis on my one year old son?
My son got one testis that did not descend to scrotum. It possible to the the surgery to correct that and what is the estimation for the price?
An undescended testis (also known as cryptorchidism) is a condition where one or both of the testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. This is a relatively common condition in infants, and in many cases, the testis may descend on its own during the first year of life. However, if the testis has not descended by the time your child is one year old, it is generally recommended to consider surgical intervention.
Orchidopexy is the surgical procedure typically performed to correct undescended testis. This surgery involves positioning the undescended testis into the scrotum and securing it in place. The procedure is generally safe and can be performed successfully in children around the age of 1 year.
Regarding your inquiry:
1.Surgical Feasibility: Yes, surgery can be done on your son, and it is often recommended to perform this procedure before the child turns 18 months to reduce the risk of complications.
2.Estimated Cost: The cost of the surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the hospital, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional care required before or after the surgery.
We recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our pediatric surgeons to assess your son's condition in more detail and discuss the appropriate treatment plan, as well as the final cost estimate.
