Abstract
The presence of a long looping vas was associated with a higher atrophy rate following laparoscopic second stage Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy. Laparoscopic management of the long looping vas may be more challenging and, therefore, in such cases open Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy may result in better success rates by preserving the integrity of the collateral vessels.
