When surgery?: Current studies pretty conclusively show that if the undescended testicle is brought down before first birthday, there is not increased risk of cancer. That doesn't mean no risk - just not any more than general population. You are at prime age for testicular cancer, so follow doctor's instructions and do monthly exams yourself. If you feel lump, I'd be more concerned than size difference .
