Boys with TT were divided into the salvage orchiopexy group and the orchiectomy group, and the baseline characteristics, ultrasonographic indications, intraoperative findings, testicular volumes, and adverse events during follow-up were compared. A total of 145 cases were included in this study. Approximately 56.6% of patients who underwent salvage orchiopexy had testicular atrophy (TA), and the median testicular volume loss of the testes was 57.4%. Age less than 6 years, delayed surgery, and intraoperative poor blood supply were associated with TA in pediatric TT after orchiopexy. Most atrophied testes appeared within 3\u20136 months after surgery. Compared with the corresponding age-matched healthy controls, the contralateral testicular volumes were larger in the orchiopexy (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.001 without TA, and\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.042 with TA) and orchiectomy groups (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.033). The adverse events were comparable in patients with orchiectomy or orchiopexy. In summary, follow-up before 3 months after surgery may not offer sufficient clinical value, while that 3 months after surgery should be regarded as the first follow-up time for testicular monitoring. The contralateral testes of patients with TT showed compensatory hypertrophy. We suggest performing orchiectomy when torsed testes are surgically assessed as Arda grade III or inviable.\n
