This statement is false. Orchiopexy (or orchidopexy) is not a procedure to remove a tumor. It is the surgical procedure performed to correct an undescended testicle (cryptorchidism). The surgery involves mobilizing the testicle from its undescended location (often in the inguinal canal or abdomen), bringing it down into the scrotum, and fixing it in place with sutures. The goal is to place the testis in the cooler environment of the scrotum to promote normal development and reduce the long-term risks of infertility and testicular cancer (though the cancer risk remains elevated). It is typically performed in early childhood, ideally between 6 and 18 months of age. The surgical procedure for removing a testicular tumor is a radical orchiectomy.
