Orchiopexy
An orchiopexy is a surgical procedure where the testicle is fixed in place inside the scrotum. This can be performed for an undescended testicle that has failed to reach the proper position. This can also be used to resolve & prevent testicular torsion, where a twist in the spermatic cord compromises the blood supply. The procedure is primarily performed by pediatric surgeons or urologists.
