The surgery conducted to move the undescended testicles to its intended position is known as orchidopexy. This surgery is generally carried out in children who are 9 to 15 months old. Orchidopexy is usually done by a paediatric urologist who is a specialist in the urinary problems of the infants. This surgery will be done on adults also if they have undescended testicles. One or two incisions are made in the groin, scrotum or abdomen depending upon the position of the undescended testicles so that the surgeon can reach the testicle and carry out his intention of moving them to scrotum. But when the testicle is positioned in the abdomen, two separate surgeries will be required and these will be normally conducted months apart. When the testicles are found in higher regions like inguinal canal or in the abdomen, orchidopexy can be conducted as a laparoscopic procedure. Laparoscopic procedure is conducted through three or four small incisions in the body near the area where the testicle is located. Through one of these incisions a laparoscope is inserted and through other incisions special instruments for carrying out laparoscopic surgery are inserted. Laparoscope is an instrument with a camera on one end of a long flexible tube, the other end of which is connected to a video output placed in from of the surgeon in the operation theatre. By seeing the video of the surgery through the monitor the surgeon carries out the surgery remotely controlling the special instruments inserted for this purpose. After surgery, the instruments and the laparoscope are taken back through the incision through which they were inserted and the incisions are stitched together. Both the open procedure and laparoscopic procedure are conducted under general anaesthesia.
