During a well child examination of a healthy-appearing 4-week-old white male born at term, his mother questions you about a prominence in the left side of his scrotum, which she has noted since his baths were begun. Your physical examination reveals an oblong, nontender, nonreducible, light-transmitting mass closely adhered to or involving the testis. You should recommend which one of the following?
a) Further observation
b) Sterile aspiration of the mass
c) Immediate surgery
d) Surgery in 3-4 months
