Orchiopexy for intravaginal testicular torsion. Ring-shaped fixation of the lower part of the testis.
As a surgical therapy for intravaginal testicular torsion, we developed a testicular fixation method considering the testis in intravaginal testicular torsion in comparison with the normal one. With our method, the lower part of the testis is fixed in a ring form around the testicular long axis to show the wide extravaginal area similar to that of a normal testis. We believe that this method is simple, logical and effective to fix the testis in intravaginal testicular torsion.
