Testicular fixation is mainly used to treat cryptorchidism, and minimally invasive surgery can be considered, but it should be analyzed in the context of one’s own situation.
Most patients with cryptorchidism can choose minimally invasive surgical fixation, such as laparoscopic surgery, which is a relatively simple surgical method that focuses on fixing cryptorchidism within the abdomen; however, if the condition is serious and fixation is difficult, intra-abdominal resection is feasible. However, the possibility of minimally invasive surgery should also be analyzed according to the specific location of the testicle, as well as the severity of cryptorchidism.
Compared with traditional surgery, laparoscopic surgery has a clearer result and can free the spermatic cord more accurately for the purpose of protecting the blood supply of the vas deferens. During the procedure, the cryptorchidism can also be localized and evaluated.
If a patient with cryptorchidism needs minimally invasive surgery, he or she should be examined first to understand his or her own condition, and should also be examined through imaging tests to clarify the exact location of the testicle before targeting the treatment to prevent improper treatment from affecting the therapeutic effect.
