Definition
An undescended testicle is generally rare in full-term babies, but common in baby boys born prematurely.
Pathophysiology
Under normal embryological development the testis descends from the abdomen to the scrotum, pulled by the gubernaculum, within the processes vaginalis. This process is incomplete in the context of true undescended testis; or tracks to an abnormal position in an ectopic testis.
