Crossed testicular ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly in which both testes descend through a single inguinal canal. The typical presentation is that of ipsilateral inguinal hernia and contralateral cryptorchidism. This is a case report of crossed testicular ectopia in a 6-month-old male infant with depiction of herniorrhaphy and laparoscopic intraabdominal findings.

Testes: Gross Anatomy
The testes, also known as testicles, are the male gonads. They are housed within the scrotum, a sac-like structure located beneath the penis. The scrotum's primary role is to regulate the temperature of the testes, which is crucial for sperm production.
Each testis is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a dense connective tissue layer that provides structural support and protection. This layer is covered by an outer serous membrane called the tunica vaginalis, which helps reduce friction...
