Abstract
Abstract: This report describes the rare case of transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) associated with polyorchidism in a 16-month-old male, successfully managed through laparoscopic surgery. The patient presented with bilateral cryptorchidism, a palpable mass in the right inguinal canal and an absent left-side gonad. Ultrasound revealed three gonad-like structures. Laparoscopy identified duplicated and fused testes at the right deep inguinal ring, and a third testis in the right inguinal canal. Minimally invasive techniques positioned the duplicated testes in the right hemiscrotum and the single testis in the left hemiscrotum. Post-operative follow-up confirmed optimal scrotal positioning, with normal growth. This rare case underscores the efficacy of laparoscopy in diagnosing and managing rare paediatric conditions, providing valuable insights for surgeons facing cryptorchidism or scrotal masses.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Minimal Access Surgery (JMAS), the official publication of Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons, launched in early 2005. The JMAS, a quarterly publication, is the first English-language journal from India, as also from this part of the world, dedicated to Minimal Access Surgery. The JMAS boasts an outstanding editorial board comprising of Indian and international experts in the field.
