Question
How to determine if development is good after pediatric orchidopexy?
Answer
After orchidopexy surgery, the development of the testicles can be assessed through size, texture, and fine needle aspiration cytology. Unilateral orchidopexy usually does not affect physical development, but bilateral orchidopexy may lead to insufficient androgen secretion, affecting growth. The development status of unilateral orchidopexy should be determined through fine needle aspiration cytology, and an approximate judgment can also be made by observing the size and texture of the testicles.
