Inguinal exploration: Is the appropriate term. It's when the groin is opened to fix something in it, here presumably the testicle. An orchiopexy is an operation to bring an undescended testicle down into the scrotum and secure it in place or to fix a loose testicle in place in the scrotum to keep it from torsing (twisting). Bilateral means it would be done on both sides.
