Cryptorchidism – Treatment at Top Ihilov Clinic

CryptorchidismThe doctors at the Israeli Top Ihilov Clinic have accumulated vast experience in treating cryptorchidism. With the help of new treatment methods, doctors regularly enable our patients to return to a full life. Early diagnosis of the condition (before 1 year) helps avoid its dangerous consequences.

Depending on the type of cryptorchidism, different treatment methods are used by doctors:

  • Orchidopexy – this is a surgery performed under general anesthesia. The recommended age for the patient is 2 years. The surgeon makes a small incision in the groin area, through which the testicle is mobilized with the spermatic cord and blood vessels, and then it is fixed. The doctors at the Israeli Top Ihilov Clinic use a gentle method of performing the surgery with laparoscopic equipment.
  • Hormonal treatment is used for patients aged 3 to 4 years. This method is less effective than surgical intervention.

Treatment of cryptorchidism improves the ability to conceive, facilitates monitoring of the testicle, allows for early detection of diseases, eliminates associated anomalies, inguinal hernia, prevents testicular torsion, and reduces the risk of injury and developmental limitations of the testicle.

Pediatric urologists and surgeons at Top Ihilov Clinic employ minimally invasive treatment methods that help avoid complications and do not require prolonged rehabilitation.
