Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An orchiopexy is a surgery that moves an undescended testicle into the scrotum. An orchiopexy also typically describes the surgery that resolved testicular torsion. The procedure usually takes less than an hour to complete.

Detailed explanation-2: -Orchidopexy (OR-kid-o-pex-ee) is a surgery to move a testicle that has not descended or moved down to its proper place in the scrotum.
