Undescended testis (UDT) or cryptorchidism is one of the most prevalent congenital abnormalities in male infants. Cryptorchidism is defined as failure of a testis to descend into a scrotal position, or even absent of the testis. For effective reproduction in the future, the testes must descend into the scrotum's lower temperature environment. In addition to being linked to an increased risk of testicular germ cell cancers, poor fertility, and testicular torsion, cryptorchidism can also lead to psychological issues. In developing countries, it is not unusual for patients with undescended testes (UDT) to present in adulthood and the late detection of UDT can be problematic, because of the clinicians are often unaware about genital parts examination in newborn care.
