Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. Yes, surgery is definitely needed in case of undescended tstes above one year old. If it is not placed in the srotum by surgery the boy will develop sterility. Sometimes the ectopic testis may undergo malignant transformation. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
