Testicular fixation in adult retractile testis: technical notes

Chir Ital. 2003 Jan-Feb;55(1):145-7.

Abstract

A variety of techniques for scrotal orchiopexy have been described in the literature, including those without suture fixation, such as the scrotal pouch. We perform a simple modified technique for bilateral testicular fixation in patients with bilateral and/or unilateral adult retractile testis and with symptoms characterised by chronic orchialgia due to testicular hypermobility or repeated funicular subtorsion.
