Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Malformations
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • Preoperative diagnosis of SGF is challenging due to its nonspecific presentation.
  • Laparoscopic approaches offer potential for diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of left-sided SGF in a male patient.
  • To highlight the utility of laparoscopy in diagnosing and treating SGF.
  • To present the one-year follow-up findings after surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic exploration for diagnosis.
  • Fowler-Stephens orchidopexy for surgical correction.
  • Ultrasound imaging for follow-up assessment.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopy successfully diagnosed left-sided SGF.
  • Postoperative ultrasound at 6 months revealed splenic-like tissue in the left scrotum.
  • At one-year follow-up, reduced splenic-like tissue volume was observed with no further testicular atrophy.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating SGF.
  • Post-surgical splenic-like tissue in the scrotum may resolve over time.
  • Fowler-Stephens orchidopexy is a viable treatment option for SGF.
