Yes; correct! However--and especially considering the risk of cancer--it never hurts to check, no?

As far as I have read, the risk for cancer in an undescended testicle may be reduced a bit by surgery (whereafter the testicle resides inside the scrotum), but always (not only "if left there") stays distinctly higher than normal.
