The main basis for treating cryptorchidism is orchidopexy, and the main view on treatment age is that treatment should be performed between 6 and 12 months after birth, but no more than 18 months after birth. Additionally, although ultrasound is a non-invasive examination without ionizing radiation, its role in the evaluation of cryptorchidism remains controversial. Although there have been many studies on the etiology of the disease, it has not been fully clarified, and while its diagnostic and treatment models have gradually approached standardization and systematization, some controversies regarding treatment remain. 4Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Digital Medicine and Computer-Assisted Surgery, Qingdao, ChinaĬryptorchidism is a common congenital malformation in pediatric urology.3Department of Pediatric Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.2Institute of Digital Medicine and Computer-Assisted Surgery of Qingdao University, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
