Urologists.: Surgery for undescended testis, or cryptorchidism, can be performed by pediatric surgeons or urologists. I recommend consulting a urologist since they usually have more experience and can follow those patients that do not need immediate surgery. The age of the patient is an important consideration, since the risk of cancer is greatest after puberty.
