undescended ---> never been in scrotum before and can not be brought manually.
retractile ---> come and go from the scrotum , could be brought manually.

I will like to ask/add in the same topic/area
You have to wait x amount of time before you do surgery to the teste right?
I mean you give 2 years to descend.
