Should correct: Laporoscopic orchipexy is done to treat undescended testicles (cryptorchidism)that do not move down into scrotum on their own.Treating undescended testicle when your son is still a baby may lower the risk of complications later in life, such as infertility and testicular cancer.Complications of surgery are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. Fertility 100% with co 1 testicle, 65% 2.
