Your child's scrotum may be swollen and bruised after the operation. This will go away after a few days. Some children get infections in the scrotum or in their incision lines, the place where the doctor cut through the skin to operate.

Call your child's surgeon, the doctor who did your child's operation.</p><h2>What happens during the operation</h2> <p>Your child will be given a special "sleep medicine" called a <a href="/Article?contentid=1261&language=English">general anesthetic</a>. This will make sure that he sleeps during the operation. </p> <p>The doctors will make a small incision (cut) in the area at the top of your child's leg, called the groin. They will gently move your son's testicle into the scrotum. If both testicles need descending, there will be two incisions, one on each side of the groin. </p> <p>The operation usually takes about one hour per testicle.</p> <p>Usually an orchidopexy is an out-patient operation. This means the operation is done on the day that your child comes to the hospital. Your son will have to spend a few hours waking up from the surgery. Your son can probably go home after the operation. He will not stay in the hospital overnight. </p>

Parfois, il arrive qu’un testicule ou les deux demeurent dans la cavité corporelle au lieu de se déplacer vers le scrotum. C’est ce que l’on appelle les <a href="/Article?contentid=884&language=French">testicules non descendus​</a> ou le cryptorchidisme, qui signifie « testicule caché ».</p> <h2>Qu’est-ce qu’une orchidopexie?</h2> <p>Une orchidopexie est une opération qui consiste à faire descendre les testicules dans le scrotum. On pourrait devoir pratiquer cette intervention pour les deux testicules de votre fils, ou juste une seule.</p><h2>À retenir</h2> <ul><li>Une orchidopexie est une opération que l’on pratique pour des testicules non descendus.</li> <li>L’opération ne nécessite pas habituellement un séjour à l’hôpital.</li> <li>Les garçons devront éviter des activités intenses pendant quelques jours après l’opération.</li> <li>Les parents devront nettoyer et changer le pansement au site de l’incision.</li></ul><h2>S’assurer qu’il n’y a pas de problèmes</h2> <p>La plupart des enfants n’ont pas de problèmes à se rétablir de l’opération. Le scrotum de votre enfant pourrait être ecchymosé (avoir de bleus)après l’opération, mais tout redeviendra normal après quelques jours. Certains enfants développent une infection dans le scrotum ou l’incision, où le médecin a coupé la peau pour l’opération. Votre enfant pourrait avoir une infection si l’un ou l’autre des signes suivants sont présents :</p> <ul><li>douleur accrue au site de l’incision;</li> <li>incision rouge;</li> <li>enflure au site de l’incision;</li> <li>liquide qui s’écoule de l’incision;</li> <li>fièvre de plus de 38,5°C;</li> <li>vomissements;</li> <li>douleur à l’estomac;</li> <li>perte d’appétit;</li> <li>fatigue ou manque d’énergie.</li></ul> <p>Si votre enfant présente l’un ou l’autre de ces signes, consultez son médecin.</p> <p>Parfois, untesticule peut se tordre ou remonter après l’opération. Un médecin doit voir votre enfant immédiatement s’il présente l’un ou l’autre de ces signes :</p> <ul><li>grave douleur ou enflure;</li> <li>difficulté ou incapacité àuriner.</li></ul> <p>Appelez l’hôpital et demandez à parler au chirurgien de garde si vous pensez que letesticule de votre enfant s’est torduou estremonté.</p> <h2>Si vous soupçonnez un problème</h2> <p>Parlez à un médecin si vous avez des craintes. Appelez le chirurgien de votre enfant, le médecin qui a fait l’opération.</p><h2>Ce qui se passe pendant l’opération</h2> <p>On donnera un médicament à votre enfant pour l’endormir, appelé anesthésie. Cela fera fera dormir votre enfant tout au long de l’opération.</p> <p>Le médecin fera une petite incision (coupure) au-dessus du haut de la jambe de votre enfant; cet endroit s’appelle l’aine. Il déplacera ensuite doucement le testicule de votre fils dans le scrotum. Si les deux testicules doivent être descenduees, il y aura deux incisions, soit une de chaque côté de l’aine.</p> <p>L’opération prend habituellement une heure par testicule.</p> <p>Habituellement, l'orchidopexies est une opération faite en soins ambulatoire, c’est-à-dire que votre enfant retournera à la maison la même journée. Votre fils aura besoin de quelques heures pour se réveiller de l’opération, et pourra probablement retourner à la maison après, sans avoir à passer la nuit à l’hôpital.</p>

Your child's doctor may prescribe <a href="/Article?contentid=110&language=English">codeine</a> for the pain. You can also give your child <a href="/Article?contentid=62&language=English">acetaminophen</a> or <a href="/Article?contentid=153&language=English">ibuprofen</a> for pain. Give him this medicine exactly as your doctor tells you. </p> <h3>Signs your child is in pain</h3> <p>Older children can usually tell you if they have pain. In younger children, look for these signs of pain:</p> <ul> <li>a lot of fussiness </li> <li>increased sweating </li> <li>pale skin colour </li> <li>refusing to walk or trouble walking </li> <li>unusually quiet behaviour </li> </ul> <h3>Taking care of the stitches</h3> <p>Your son will have a bandage over the incision site or sites. These bandages cover the stitches. You may see a small amount of blood on the bandage. This is normal. The bleeding will gradually stop. </p> <p>After a few days, you can soak the bandage off in the bathtub.</p> <p>Once the bandage has been removed, clean the incision site twice a day. The nurse will give you instructions on how to do this. </p> <ul> <li>Using a clean wet cloth, gently pat the incision site clean. </li> <li>Put an antibiotic ointment such as Polysporin lightly over the stitches for one week. An antibiotic ointment is a special cream that kills germs. You can buy antibiotic creams at the pharmacy without a prescription. </li> <li>The stitches will fall out so they do not need to be removed. </li> </ul> <p>If your child is still in diapers, you should change them when they are wet. Leave the diaper off for about 30 minutes every day. If your child is older, he can eat his regular food. Your child should have a bowel movement (poo) every day. </p> <h2>Your child's activities</h2> <p>Your child should avoid certain activities that might harm the incision until after his check-up in the clinic. These activities include: </p> <ul> <li>strenuous activities </li> <li>contact sports such as football or hockey </li> <li>riding a bicycle </li> </ul> <p>After a few weeks, your child will be able to resume all his normal physical activities.</p><h2>Making sure there are no problems</h2> <p>Most children have no problems getting better after their operations. Your child's scrotum may be swollen and bruised after the operation. This will go away after a few days. Some children get infections in the scrotum or in their incision lines, the place where the doctor cut through the skin to operate.
