Introduction
Undescended testis is found in 3% of term boys and 30% of preterm boys.
When the baby is formed in the womb, the testis is initially formed inside the baby’s belly. As the fetus (baby in the womb) grows, the testes gradually descend   out of the body and reach the scrotal sac. When this does not happen, or is arrested half way, the result is ‘Undescended testis’.

What do you see – Presentation Empty scrotum one side or both sides, can be identify in new born. It can descend in three to four months without any intervention. When I see such patients, I find….. Absent testis is observed in the scrotum, bulge in the inguinal region (Hernia with testis). USG of abdomen and inguinal region. MRI scan of abdomen Treatment why...?...when..?
