Additionally the testes derive their blood supply from the testicular arteries that branch off the aorta all the way up in the abdomen. I would imagine that 'hooking them up' would be a much more complicated surgery since the vessels would have to be passed through the pelvis into the scrotum.
- encoderer 8y agoOh man it’s like having to pass props all the way down through my react components. No wonder the surgeon closed as #wontfix.

Venous drainage could be a problem. The other thing: they may actually plan to do those transplants down the line, but there's no sense in doing them if the scrotum fails to take.
- wmeredith 8y agoFun fact: this is because they start out the same place as ovaries during fetal development and then migrate down and out of the abdomen leaving a trail of vasculature and nerve endings. This is why you get nauseated after testicular trauma.
