A member asked:
Can an orchidopexy operation of testicular torsion by itself cause testicular atrophy? or is it caused by the no blood flow of the torsion?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually the late intervention causes the testicular atrophy due to prolonged ischemia, not because of the orchiopexy procedure.

Not by the operation. If the operation was beyond 3-4 hours after a complete torsion the it would not help
