Orchiopexy for Undescended Testicle
How Well It Works
Usually the outcome of orchiopexy is good, and the testicle is moved into the scrotum. But success rates vary by where the testicle is located at the time the surgery is done. In general, this treatment works well in more than three-quarters (about 80% to 92%) of the males who need it.Reference 1
