Hi, Now recommended age for orchiopexy i.e. bringing down testes in scrotum is 6-9 months or latest by one year. Due to availability of the latest diagnostic laparoscopy changed the management for non-palpable testes, so early surgery is possible. If descended testes remain more descended, undergoes progressive degeneration after birth. Ok and take care.
