Laser Doppler spectroscopy of testes after unilateral orchiopexy

After orchiopexy, differences were found in the microcirculation between the operated and contralateral testes or healthy controls. It remains unclear if this is an effect of primary disease or surgery. The microcirculation of contralateral testes was also seemingly different from controls. This is most likely not a consequence of surgery alone, but a common problem for both testes in the affected patients.
