select the correct answer.
when the doctor examines 9-month-old ben, he realizes that ben’s left testis has not moved into its proper position in the scrotum. he recommends a surgical procedure to move the undescended testis into its proper position. which procedure is the doctor referring to?
a. vasectomy
b. circumcision
c. orchiopexy
d. phalloplasty

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Vasectomy is a sterilization procedure for males, not for undescended testes.
• Option B: Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin, unrelated to testes position.
• Option C: Orchiopexy is the surgical procedure to move an undescended testis into the scrotum, matching the scenario.
• Option D: Phalloplasty is related to the penis (e.g., reconstruction), not testes.

Answer:

C. orchiopexy
