Transverse testicular ectopia: two case reports and literature review

Transverse testicular ectopia with an inguinal hernia: A rare case report

“…Treatment for TTE typically involves surgical interventions such as hernia repair, reduction of the testis and orchiopexy which can be done via trans-septal or trans-peritoneal methods. Surgical procedures can be performed through inguinal approach, laparoscopy, laparoscopic-assisted inguinal approach, or laparotomy depending on the case [ 2 ].…”

“…Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital anomaly, also known as crossed testicular ectopia (CTE), in which both testicles migrate through the same inguinal canal, and it is usually associated with an inguinal hernia [ 1 ]. The incidence of TTE is estimated to be 1 out of every 4 million children [ 2 ]. TTE may be associated with other abnormalities such as persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS), true hermaphroditism, hypospadias, pseudo-hermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies [ 3 ].…”
