Can I Impregnate A Women After Testicular Torsion Surgery?

Hi. I had a testicular torsion surgery when I was two. I am now 43 years old, 5'10'', 200 lbs. My question(s) is: Can I still impregnate a woman and is the sex of the child determined by the testicle removed, ie right =male left = female or something to that effect?
