Details.
Surgical procedure to move an undescended testicle into the scrotum, commonly performed in children when one or both testicles have not moved down on their own. Usually performed as a day-case under general anaesthesia, with techniques including a groin or scrotal incision, or a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach for higher testicles. Mild pain or swelling is common after surgery and is usually managed with paracetamol or ibuprofen. Most children are pain-free within 24 hours and can return to normal activities within a few days.
