Orchidopexy: a technique to minimize vascular damage and subsequent testicular atrophy

ABSTRACT

Many techniques have been described to lengthen the cord and place the testis in the scrotum in case of mal-desended testicles. In all these procedures, the main danger is damage to the vascular supply of the testis and subsequent atrophy. A method has been described to lengthen the cord with minimal risk of damage to the vascular supply of the testis, thus avoiding post-operative testicular atrophy
