The gold-standard orchidopexy procedure in boys with an undescended testis (UDT) involves inguinal exploration with a subsequent scrotal incision to allow placement of the mobilized testis. Alternative procedures have been proposed, including laparoscopic approaches and single-incision techniques, which aim to provide minimal invasiveness, reduced morbidity and improved cosmetic outcomes. The Bianchi procedure was the first technique to be described that used an initial single scrotal incision in children with a palpable UDT. It is considered more technically demanding than the standard approach, and its applicability in cases of impalpable UDT has been a topic of debate.
