It is completely natural for you to be concerned about your newborn having a operation....you have been given some excellent advice here by members and I'm sure it has made you a bit more at ease about it all.

I  just wanted to wish your son all the best and I am certain everything will smoothly.

 Dont be worried. My nephew had to have this done when he was a bit older (the doctors said they wanted to give it a little time and see if they dropped on their own) and he was playful and running around the very next day.

Hi there. no need to be worried.  I have actually witnessed this procedure in theatre- its called an orchiopexy and involves only a small incision through which the surgeon can lower the teste.  Usually day surgery.  Recovery is quick, requiring a bit of pain relief for a few days and within a couple of weeks everything is back to normal.  The surgery is important because it can prevent infertility in later years (undescended testes get too hot to produce good sperm).  There is a small chance of anaesthetic and surgical complications which your surgeon and anaesthetist will discuss with you during the consent process.   he will be fine.

congratulations on your baby boy.

Congrats on your baby!  A friend of mine had a child with a similar disorder, your son will be ok, the risk is less than  1% of something going wrong due to anaesthesia.  Best to get it fixed now while he is young, another friend has a child with undescended testies and she has to take him to a specialist annually to have a Dr poke around at his penis and scrotum to see if they have descended, this upsets the child greatly.  Good luck with it all

CONGRATULATIONS on you new baby boy !! It sounds like the surgery is straight forward. The chances of anything going wrong is so slim that you should be fine.. i have had at least 8 or more ops and all ok, but its harder when its your son going under.. The surgery is for the best anyway, good luck !!
