Q

how should a suspected unilateral undescended testis be managed according to time of detection?

A
  • At birth — re-examine the infant at 6–8 weeks of age. If both testes are normally descended, no further action is required.

  • At 4–5 months (corrected for gestational age), if the testis remains undescended, arrange referral to paediatric surgery or urology to be seen by 6 months of age.
