title: [Preventive orchidopexy of the contralateral testis after testicular torsion in childhood?].
abstract: Follow-up examinations following testicular torsion did not reveal any differences in the development of contralateral testicles preventively fixed compared with those which were not. It is thus concluded that criteria other than testicular development must be taken into account when deciding on mandatory contralateral orchiopexy in testicular torsion.
