Medical Conditions - Orchidopexy

Orchiopexy is a surgical procedure to move and fix an undescended testicle into the scrotum and to resolve testicular torsion. This involves first making an incision in the groin to locate the undescended testicle. The testicle is then moved downwards and permanently fixed in the scrotum through a second incision.
