Role of microsurgery in orchiopexy

Urology. 1978 Dec;12(6):670-3. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(78)90429-6.

Abstract

Intra-abdominal tests cannot be completely brought down into the scrotum by conventional methods. Four intra-abdominal testes in 3 patients underwent successful orchiopexy by dividing the spermatic artery and vein near their origin and anastomosing these vessels to the inferior epigastric vessels with the use of microsurgical technique.
