OPS-Code 5-624.4:
Operations on the testicle: Orchidopexy: With funiculolysis
The testicle was secured.
The testicle and spermatic cord were released from the surrounding tissue in advance.
The testicles are located outside the body, and are covered by skin. That is the scrotum. The spermatic cord connects the testicle to the inside of the abdomen. The spermatic cord contains various blood vessels and nerves and the spermatic duct (vas deferens). The sperm are transported out of the testicles into the urethra by the spermatic duct.
