QUESTION 1 / 10

Select if the statement below is True or False.

Surgery should be performed in the first 6-12 months of a patient’s life.

Wrong

If a testis has not concluded its descent by the age of six months (corrected for gestational age), since spontaneous testicular descent is unlikely to occur after that age, surgery should be performed within the subsequent year, the age of eighteen months at the latest.
In addition, early orchidopexy can be followed by partial catch-up testicular growth, which is not the case in delayed surgery.
All these findings recommend performing early orchidopexy between the ages of six and twelve months.
