A 2.5-year-old son was operated on because of an inguinal hernia six months ago, and the doctor operated on the undescended left nucleolus along with this procedure. Already 2 months after the surgery, I noticed that the testicle still does not descend into the scrotum. The doctor said it was normal. The problem still exists, the nucleolus is stuck (in my opinion) with the adhesions after the hernia. We are currently undergoing surgery for the same reason, i.e. the left testicle has not descended into the scrotum. What could be the reason? Is this a surgical error?
You should talk carefully to your doctor if the testis vessels were not too short and if the testicle was "tensioned" brought into the scrotum. In such cases, the testicle may retreat to the inguinal canal and remain there due to immobilization by adhesions. It sometimes happens that the surgeon, due to the shortness of the spermatic cord, may divide the procedure into two stages - the first - bringing the testicle near the scrotum and the second - placing the testicle in the scrotum. Except for the above-mentioned cases, the testicle after the operation should be in the scrotum and not retract into the inguinal canal.
