Explanation

Testes fixation is a medical procedure that is performed to prevent the testicles from moving around too much inside the scrotum. This is usually done when a person has a condition called testicular torsion, where the testicles can twist inside the scrotum, causing severe pain and potential damage. The procedure involves surgically attaching the testicles to the inside of the scrotum to keep them in place. This helps to prevent future episodes of testicular torsion.
