Abstract
While techniques for initial orchiopexy are well known, descriptions of a surgical approach to the more difficult reoperative case are scarce. We describe 25 patients undergoing reoperative orchiopexy following prior herniorrhaphy, hydrocelectomy or attempted orchiopexy. A technique of en bloc spermatic cord mobilization from an inferior approach is detailed. This approach is designed to minimize the potential for spermatic cord injury during reoperation, and has proved to be safe and reliable.
