“…Site of the ectopic testis is probably decided by the strength of the tail of gubernaculum. Normally scrotal tail is the strongest hence testis descends down into the scrotum [6,7]. In the case under review, Ultrasound scan confirmed the swelling to be a testis in the ectopic location.…”

“…Clinical findings of ectopic testis (Soomro and Mughal, 2008) have supported the theory of testis descent following these tails. Ectopic locations have represented up to 10% of undescended testes (Davenport, 1996;Nounla et al, 2001) and these positions coincide with the gubernacular attachments. Transverse testicular ectopia (Fernández Jiménez et al, 2000;Marín Mata et al, 2005;Shamsuddin et al, 2007;Thambidorai and Khaleed, 2007), with both gubernacula in the same inguinal canal, could be caused by a minor displacement in early ligament insertion on the pubic bone, which should determine the inclusion within the contralateral wall.…”

Inguinal canal development: The muscular wall and the role of the gubernaculum

The inguinal canal is an anatomically complex region. Although much has been written about the gubernaculum and the descent of the testis, little is known about the development of the abdominal wall itself. We dissected this inguinal canal in 75 fetuses between 10 and 25 weeks of gestation, 42 males and 33 females. We identified the anterior body-wall muscular layers, located the gonads and uterus, and observed the formation of the scrotum. The gubernaculum was dissected, from the deep to the superficial ends and its distal attachments were determined. We proved that the muscular-fibrous layers of the wall were well-differentiated and observed how the inguinal canal enlarged with embryological development. In only one of the cases, an abnormal testis was found located in the scrotum. The upper end of the gubernaculum inserted into the inferior pole of the testis or the lateral angle of the uterus, according to gender. The lower end was attached by one or multiple tails, mainly on the pubic bone. This fact explained the clinical findings of ectopic testis. Observations of the abdominal wall and its relationship with the gubernaculum assisted us in explaining the development of the inguinal region, the formation of the inguinal canal, and the presence of the gubernaculum, in both genders. We intend to explain how the deep inguinal ring moves upwards, bringing the gubernaculum along with it, and thus determines the final form of the inguinal canal.

“…Orchiopexy is a surgical procedure that is commonly used to move an undescended testis into the scrotum. It is typically performed on infants and young boys aged 6 to 15 months [9].…”

The testicles develop in the abdomen while a male baby is still in the uterus. Before birth, the testicles typically drop from inside the abdomen down into the scrotum. The scrotum is the sack of skin hanging behind the penis where the testicles are housed. Undescended testicles fail to drop into the scrotum before birth or in the first few months of life. The condition is also called cryptorchidism. Here we discussed, A 15 Years old male child was brought to Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital with a complaint of undescended testis and is brought for surgical management. The history of previous illness as narrated by the father the child was born with an undescended testis on the right side.
