Comparison of high spermatic vessel ligation and low spermatic vessel ligation in an undescended model of rat testis

Conclusions: Both immediate and long-term changes following LSVL showed an increase in blood flow to the testis after ligation through collaterals and reverses early ischemic changes to the testis. Given the higher testicular atrophic rate after HSVL, LSVL or at least low ligation can be preferred for the management of high intra-abdominal UDT.
