New study aims to improve surgery for undescended testicles

NCT ID NCT06558994

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques for treating undescended testicles in children. The goal is to see which method—cutting or tying off a blood vessel—better helps the testicle move into the scrotum during a second surgery. About 58 children with undescended testicles will take part, and doctors will measure how far the testicle moves and its size after six months.
