Although there is very little recent literature directly addressing the question, some studies have better characterized differences in practice, the risk of intravaginal torsion in the contralateral testis and potential consequences in the selection of technique. The etiology of a vanishing testis remains obscure, but appears more likely to be the result of a prenatal extravaginal torsion. While indeterminate, the risk of contralateral torsion of a descended testis appears to concentrate around the neonatal period with no substantially increased risk in later years. Contralateral orchiopexy, although a low-risk procedure, likely benefits very few and may carry an as yet poorly described risk to the contralateral testicle depending on the technique of fixation.
