Undescended Testicle Market Introduction

An undescended testicle also known as cryptorchidism is a condition in which a testicle hasn’t moved into its proper position in the scrotum before birth. It is uncommon in general, but common in baby boys born prematurely. This condition is found in about 3-4 out of 100 newborns, and up to 21 out of 100 premature newborns. In nearly half of the babies born with this condition, testicles drop on their own to the actual position in the first 3 months after birth. But, if testicles don’t drop on their own after 3 months of age, this condition will require treatment.

A nonpalpable testicle is a testicle that cannot be felt in a physical examination. It may be in the abdomen, absent or atrophic (very small). An undescended testicle if left unattended, can cause a tumor later on in life. Surgery is the only way to find out if the testicle is present or not. Surgery can be performed in two ways either laparoscopic or open. Laparoscopic surgery is done through thin tubes inserted into a child’s body through a small incision. A surgeon uses a special camera to see inside a child’s body. The surgeon will find one of 3 situations:

• Blind-ending testicular blood vessels – proving there’s no testicle
• Vessels leaving the abdomen – proving there’s no testicle in the abdomen
• A testicle in the abdomen. If a testicle is found, it’s brought down into the scrotum or removed, based on its condition.
