Shehata surgery for undescended testicle in the belly
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a surgical technique (called the Shehata technique) for boys with an undescended testicle that is located inside the belly. It aims to move the testicle to the scrotum and help it develop normally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
