Approach To Transverse Testicular Ectopia in the laparoscopic era

TARUN JOHN K JACOB

Abstract


The combination of crossed transverse testicular ectopia combined with persistent Mullerian structures in an inguinal hernia is unusual. When it does occur, clearly planned guidelines may help save future fertility and provide a chance for normal gonadal repositioning. A revisit of the         paradigm is called for with the introduction of any new              modality. We discuss a case which presented at our                institution along with review of literature, and discuss the potential learning points from this rare presentation.
