Delayed referral for orchidopexy: Scrutinising the causes
Keyword(s):
One Year
◽
Orchidopexy for undescended testis is recommended at a younger age than heretofore; our study aimed to assess delays, and their causes, by retrospective analysis of data from a single tertiary care centre over one year (2015–2016). Almost 80% of children were brought after 1 year of age, mostly because of delayed referral by primary physicians (60%), or missed diagnosis by parents or primary physicians (20%). Misconception about the risk of surgery below 1 year was significant (15%). A timely referral is encouraged.
