Hi, my baby is 2 1/2 month. He is born premature at 36 weeks (2400 gms). He now weighs 4100 gms. He has undecended testis of right side. Pediatric surgeon has suggested surgery at 9 months. Please guide how safe is the surgery and what could be the complications. Are there any other alternatives to surgery, as I am scared and not comfortable with surgery.

Hi, Surgery is safe, nothing to worry. If undecended testis is not removed there can be dangerous complications later.
