“…Duplication of the vas deferens is extremely rare. It was reported in only three cadavers and 32 patients including our patient since it was firstly described in 1959 (Coetzee, 1959;Mysorekar, 1976;Cetti et al, 1980;Graveson, 1980;Hjarbaek, 1987;Binderow et al, 1993;Carr, 1993;Barrack, 1994;Mege et al, 1997;Khaliq et al, 1997;Khoudary & Morgentaler, 1998;Kutiyanawala & Johnstone, 1998;Damle et al, 2005;Akay et al, 2005;Shariat et al, 2005;Erdemir et al, 2008;Chintamani et al, 2009; Valdepeña-Estrada et al, 2010; Karaman et al, 2010;Khandelwal et al, 2011;Liang et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2013;Sirasanagandla et al, 2013;Terawaki et al, 2014;Breitinger et al, 2016;Tezer & Salbacak, 2017;Saadeldin et al, 2018;Shilling Bailey et al, 2019;Ismaiel et al, 2020;Seyi-Olajide & Ameh, 2020).…”

Duplication of vas deferens is a very rare anomaly which two vasa deferentia are found in the spermatic cord. It can be recognised during autopsy or cadaveric dissection and also several surgical procedures which require spermatic cord dissection including inguinal hernia repair, orchiopexy, vasectomy, varicocelectomy, vasectomy reversal and radical prostatectomy. Recognition of the duplicated vas deferens is important to avoid surgical complications such as an unsuccessful vasectomy or transection of the vas. It was reported in only three cadavers and 31 patients since 1959. In this study, we describe a new case of duplicated vas deferens found incidentally during routine inguinal hernia repair in a 66-year-old patient. We also review all previously reported cases in the literature to draw attention to this rare but important anomaly.

“…We therefore did not determine whether the duplication is partial or complete. In accordance with Kutiyanawala and Johnstone, we did not proceed with dissection in this manner due to lack of contribution to the patient's care [12]. According to Liang et al, identification of a suspected duplicated vas deferens merits urology consultation and tracking of the structure from the internal ring to the epididymis [1].…”

Duplication of the vas deferens is a rare anomaly, defined as the presence of two distinct vasa deferentia within one spermatic cord, with only 28 cases reported worldwide since 1959. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a duplicate vas deferens, presenting with abdominal pain from bowel obstruction secondary to incarcerated inguinal hernia. Spermatic cord dissection during hernioplasty revealed duplication of the vas deferens within the right spermatic cord. Doppler ultrasonography confirmed absence of waveforms in both vasa deferentia with arterial signal in the accompanying vessel. The hernia was repaired without complication. This report emphasizes recognition of duplicate vas deferens in avoiding iatrogenic injury and optimizing surgical outcome.

Duplication of vas deferens is a rare finding; it is likely under-reported and underrecognized. Failure to recognize this variation can result in injury to the vas deferens or an ineffective vasectomy. Following identification of a suspected duplicated vas deferens, the structure should be tracked from the internal ring down to the epididymis and intra-operative Doppler should be performed. Post-operatively, renal and bladder imaging can be considered though there have been no reported cases of non-testicular genito-urinary anomalies associated with duplicated vas deferens.
