“…9 More commonly, however, the diagnosis of TTE is made during surgery for an inguinal hernia. 3,4,7,10 In this particular scenario, the contralateral testis is present in the hernial sac. In some rare situations, the affected testis is never seen clinically or during a hernia operation.…”

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is an uncommon condition with different clinical presentations. A significant proportion of cases are diagnosed only during surgery and it is important to define the precise anatomy and associated anomalies in every case of TTE. Laparoscopy is being increasingly adopted in the treatment of undescended testis, especially in cases where the testis is impalpable. We hereby report a child with a variant of TTE wherein laparoscopy proved enormously beneficial in diagnosis and treatment and where a routine groin exploration was likely to have yielded an incorrect diagnosis. We also review the available literature on the use of laparoscopy in the management of TTE and its impact on the ability of surgeons to diagnose and treat TTE and its associated conditions.

“…Transseptal orchiopexy via contralateral inguinal incision is the treatment of choice if adequate length of spermatic cord is present. Laparoscopic-assisted transabdominal orchiopexy has been described and may offer alternative to orchiectomy in cases lacking adequate spermatic cord length [8]. Orchiectomy should be reserved for cases where ectopic testes cannot be mobilized to a palpable position given the future risk of malignancy [9].…”

“…The curing of this anomaly can be done through classical and laparoscopic surgical procedures [7,20]. In patients with TTE without PMDS, if atrophic ectopic testis is found--it should be removed.…”

“…In 65% cases the exact diagnosis is not determined prior to surgical intervention [3]. Patient often undergoes unsuccessful inguinal exploration and the ectopic testis is usually discovered during the repair of an inguinal hernia [7,8]. In this paper, with an aim to raise awareness of this uncommon condition, we report two cases of TTE, one of which is associated with PMDS.…”
