Undescended Testes Missed at Birth

The TSP Clinical Negligence team has recently settled a case for a young man in his 30s whose testes had not descended following his birth. New born baby boys are routinely checked for this condition following birth and Mr Y’s condition should have been spotted. Unfortunately Mr Y's condition has only recently been diagnosed and has resulted in him needing an orchidectomy (removal of a testicle). The team secured compensation for Mr Y.
