Freebase(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Orchiopexy. Orchiopexy is a surgery to move an undescended testicle into the scrotum and permanently fix it there. Orchiopexy also describes the surgery used to resolve testicular torsion.
If there is failure of the testes to descend normally (called cryptorchid testes), the blood and nerve supply to the testes can be damaged. In this event, permanent damage to the testes can result in decreased fertility. Repair of undescended testes is ideally performed surgically (orchiopexy) within 2 years of age.
