“…The consensus on the management of cryptorchism in adults is controversial; it has been difficult to establish a treatment, given the small number of patients [ 20 ]. Nevertheless, some authors favor orchidopexy in selected patients and state that patient preference is important to avoid the negative perception of an empty scrotum [ 21 ]. Wood et al.…”

Cryptorchidism is defined as the extra-scrotal position of the testes. It is a common disorder in male children, but rarely in adult patients. The association of cryptorchidism with hernia is a common finding in childhood, but is not frequent in adults or the elderly. Herein, we report a series of three cases (28-, 24-, and 34-year-old men) of adult inguinal hernia combined with cryptorchidism successfully managed by laparoscopic surgery under the same operative view. Laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair and orchiectomy were performed in all patients. No complications occurred in the postoperative period, and the patients were discharged on the first or second postoperative day. Pathological examination of the specimens revealed atrophic testes without malignancy. No hernia recurrence was observed during follow-up. The laparoscopic approach in the combined pathology of inguinal hernia and cryptorchidism is feasible in adult patients and has multiple advantages in terms of diagnosis and management.

“…Almost all the cases were into the category, but in a few cases, the testis is not identified and blind-ending vessels were observed [ [3] , [4] , [5] ]. 2 reports presented with totally extraperitoneal repair (TEP) [ 6 , 7 ], and 9 reports described TAPP [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] ] for an inguinal hernia. The standard operation for cryptorchidism are orchiectomy or orchidopexy.…”

“…The standard operation for cryptorchidism are orchiectomy or orchidopexy. Laparoscopic orchidopexy was performed in 3 reports despite orchiectomy is recommended for adult case [ 4 , 10 , 12 ]. The reasons were patient’s will under the informed consent or the idea that malignancy rate is not unacceptably high.…”

Pediatric health checkups have been mandatory for all citizens since 1966 based on the Maternal and Child Health Law in Japan, and cryptorchidism or undescended testis in adult males are rare. We report a case of an adult right inguinal hernia and cryptorchidism treated simultaneously with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair and laparoscopic orchiectomy. A 35-year-old man came to our department with a chief complaint of bulging in the right inguinal region for several months. He was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia and was scheduled for transabdominal preperitoneal repair. During intraoperative intraperitoneal observation, a white 30-mm mass was found in the hernia orifice. A diagnosis of right cryptorchidism was made, and transabdominal preperitoneal repair and laparoscopic orchiectomy were performed. Laparoscopic simultaneous surgery could be safely performed in an adult patient with a hernia complicated by a cryptorchidism. It can be recommended as a surgical option in such cases.
