HI...Orchidopexy is an invasive surgery and it is right time to go ahead with he surgery as per age specific guidelines. I am suggesting this because the intra-abdominal temperatures will not be viable for the testis to be physiologically functional after this age.
I suggest you go ahead with the surgery as your doctors have advised you.
