Testing a specific surgery for an undescended testicle
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies a surgery approach (Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy) for boys whose testicle is found higher in the abdomen during a camera procedure. It may help doctors choose the best technique to move the testicle into the scrotum.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is a boy between 4 months and 36 months old
- Your child is having a camera procedure (diagnostic laparoscopy) for a testicle that can’t be felt in the groin
- The camera procedure finds the testicle is located in the abdomen on one side (unilateral abdominal undescended testis)
- The case is one where Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy is considered appropriate
- It is NOT both sides, and your child does not have only one testicle
