“…Like cryptorchidism, testicular ectopia may increase the risk of infertility and neoplasia because of impaired temperature regulation. 13 In addition, there is also a social and cosmetic issue. 14 The risk of testicular neoplasia has increased up to 5-10 fold.…”

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical data, ultrasonic features, treatment, and long-term outcome of transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) in children. METHODSChildren with TTE were enrolled in the study between November 2009 and August 2019 in Shenzhen Children's Hospital in China. Clinical information, including demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, TTE-associated anomalies, ultrasonographic findings, and surgical procedures, were collected from all patients. Patients were re-evaluated at the end of 4 weeks and 6 months after the operation. RESULTSA total of 16 cases were enrolled and underwent surgeries, all patients had undescended testis with contralateral inguinal hernia. The ultrasonic findings showed two testicles in 15 cases and no testes in 1 case. M€ ullerian ducts remnants were found by laparoscopy in 6 cases or by ultrasound in one case. Sixteen cases were treated with laparoscopy orchidopexy or laparoscopy assisted transseptal orchidopexy-inguinal exploration. After surgery, 16 patients had both testicles in an orthotopic position and with equal size, with normal blood flow. CONCLUSIONTTE should be suspected in patients with nonpalpable undescended testis and contralateral inguinal hernia. The contralateral processus vaginalis sac occurs in all cases of TTE. Ultrasonography is essential for an early diagnosis of TTE. Laparoscopy-assisted surgery is safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapy for TTE. UROLOGY 00: 1−6, 2021.

“…On the side of the ectopic testis, incarcerated inguinal hernia is an expected condition. Transverse testicular ectopia is the first pathology to be considered in the presence of unilateral non-palpable testis and contralateral reducible or irreducible hernia [6]. In the classification of Gauderer et al, TTE is divided into three types according to clinical findings [1].…”

“…It is defined by the abnormal localization of the two testes in the same hemi-scrotum. True testicular ectopias represent 1% of testicular migration anomalies and the proportion reserved for transverse ectopia remains variously appreciated [1]. From its discovery in 1886 to the present day more than a hundred cases have been published [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…The transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare condition in which both testicles occupy a single hemisprotum. This abnormal position may result in a vascular compromise or regulation of the impaired temperature, including the risk of torsion, infertility and testicular cancer [1]. The diagnosis of transverse testicular ectopia is often made intraoperatively when repairing an inguinal hernia or testicular lowering.…”

True testicular ectopic represent 1% of testicular migration abnormalities. Transverse or crossed form is a very rare form of testicular ectopia. It is defined as an abnormal localization of both testicles in the same hemi-scrotum. Association of a persistence of vaginal process or a syndrome of persistence of the Müllerian canal is more commonand deserves to be underlined. The diagnosis is often intraoperative but can be facilitated by an ultrasound performed preoperatively. Before any case of testicular ectopy, notably an empty scrotum associated with an inguinal hernia, transverse testicular ectopy should be suspected. Orchiopexy in-dartos on both sides after a trans septal lowering of the testicle concerned is the rule. Currently with the development of laparoscopy, management can be performed by open surgery but also depending on the availability of the technical platform and the experience of the surgeon, laparoscopic treatment is possible. Transverse testicular ectopy is a rare form of testicular ectopy. the principle of the treatment consists in the lowering of the testicle in intra scrotum and the orchidopexy. Long-term follow-up of testicules should be systematic because risks of infertility and malignant degeneration exist and are multiplied respectively by six and eight compared to the rest of the population. We report a case, diagnosed in a secondary health center, and review the literature.
