Benefits of Cryptorchid Surgery

  • Prevents serious health complications: Removing undescended testicles reduces the risk of severe medical issues, including testicular torsion and infections.
  • Reduces cancer risks: Retained testicles are more prone to developing tumors, and surgical removal eliminates this risk.
  • Improves overall well-being: Proper treatment supports long-term health, reduces behavioral problems, and enhances quality of life.
