 | | The results of surgical therapy for cryptorchidism: a literature review and analysis. | | | In the even smaller minority of cryptorchid infants who have other obvious birth defects of the genitalia, further testing is crucial and has a high likelihood of detecting an intersex condition or other anatomic anomalies. | | | To reduce these risks, undescended testes are usually brought into the scrotum in infancy by a surgical procedure called an orchiopexy. |

| | The term undescended testicle or cryptorchidism describes the condition in which one or both testicles are not within the scrotum and can't be brought into the scrotum with external manipulation. | | | Cryptorchidism is distinct from the situation when the testicle is "retractile," meaning that it can be brought into the scrotum by external manipulation or is seen in the scrotum sometimes. | | | There is an association between the incidence of testicular cancer and cryptorchidism. |

| | Cryptorchidism |
| | Cryptorchidism is a condition in which either one or both testes (testicles) fails to descend fully into the scrotum. | | | In spite of the fact that bilateral cryptorchid dogs are sterile, both bilateral and unilateral cryptorcids should be neutered, to reduce the risk of possible future complications. | | | This condition occurs more often in some breeds of dog (Saint Bernards and German Shepherd Dogs) than in others, but can and does occur in all dog breeds. |

| | Cryptorchidism |
| | Veterinarians are sometimes asked to surgically correct cryptorchidism by moving the testicle(s) down into the scrotum, but this is an extremely difficult and delicate operation with very little chance of success because of the length of the spermatic cord, the effect on attached tissues and blood vessels, and other technical reasons. | | | In fact, cryptorchidism is as common in one country as another, and has about the same incidence in one breed as any other. | | | The condition is therefore called cryptorchidism and the dog so afflicted is called a cryptorchid. |
