Abstract
SUMMARYTesticular torsion is a surgical emergency that requires prompt exploration if testicular viability is to be maintained. Although rare, it is essential to be aware that it may occur despite previous fixation (orchidopexy). Testicular torsion occurring after previous orchidopexy is rare, but recognition of this possibility is essential to prevent testicular infarction and subsequent orchidectomy During scrotal exploration a wide variety of methods for orchidopexy exist. We present a case of testicular torsion despite previous fixation and discuss the merits of various techniques available for orchidopexy.
