Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Testicular ectopia, or undescended testes, is a common congenital anomaly requiring timely diagnosis and management.
  • Accurate pre-operative diagnosis is crucial for planning appropriate surgical interventions.

Observation:

  • The report presents three cases involving testicular ectopia.
  • Two cases were identified as penile ectopia, with pre-operative diagnosis.
  • One case of transverse testicular ectopia was initially misdiagnosed as an inguino-scrotal hernia.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration proved essential for definitive diagnosis in all cases.
  • In the reported instances, testes were of normal size with adequate cord length for repositioning.
  • The Surraco's procedure was successfully employed for testicular repositioning.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights the diagnostic challenges and surgical considerations in managing testicular ectopia.
  • It underscores the importance of surgical exploration when diagnosis is uncertain, particularly for transverse testicular ectopia.
  • The study contributes to understanding the pathogenesis, diagnostic utility of echography, and therapeutic options for testicular ectopia.
