Surgery for undescended testis is recommended at what age?
Optimum age for surgery in case of undescended testis is 6 months. The surgical procedure done is called orchidopexy. Earlier intervention (Six months of age) should be considered in order to theoretically prevent the complications of crytorchidism that may be manifested before 1 year of age.
