The median age at which orchiopexy was performed was 4.5\u2009years. All the cases of ITV were accompanied by extratesticular varicocele (ETV). All the patients underwent a microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy. At 3\u2009months after operation, the ITV and ETV had disappeared in all the cases. Sperm density and motility increased in five and four patients, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>ITV occurs at a relatively high frequency after orchiopexy for undescended testis. Disorder of the valvular function of the testicular vein in peeling the testicular vessels was thought to be a primary cause and is often found on the left side. Doppler ultrasonography of the testis is considered important for diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/iju5.12498","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]],"date-time":"2022-06-17T06:23:51Z","timestamp":1655447031000},"page":"393-396","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Microsurgical
