Testicular atrophy following paediatric primary orchidopexy: A prospective study

This study represented one of the larger collections of prospective assessments of outcomes following primary orchidopexy. It was acknowledged that subjectively assessing testicular volume is not ideal; however, the data correlated with similar studies.Table.
