PURPOSE: Children with undescended testes (UDTs) undergoing orchiopexy at a later age reportedly experience more negative effects on post-orchiopexy testicular volume (TV). This study aimed to investigate the effect of orchiopexy according to the age at operation. METHODS: We included 93 patients (127 testes) who underwent orchiopexy between 2008 and 2020. According to their age at orchiopexy, they were divided into Group 1 (< 24 months; n = 36, median follow-up: 17 [14-39] months) and Group 2 (≥ 24 months; n = 57, median follow-up: 16 [13-34] months)...
