What Is the Cost of Orchidopexy in Germany?
The cost of orchidopexy in Germany typically ranges from $2,500 to $22,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.
Orchidopexy moves an undescended testicle down into the scrotum and fixes it in place. It is usually done in young children. In Germany, the total depends on:

- Open or keyhole surgery: the approach used.
- One or two stages: two operations are sometimes needed.
- Day case: most children go home the same day.
