Introduction. The aim of this study is to present our treatment protocol for impalpable testis. Material and Methods. In a retrospective study we analyzed clinical data including diagnostic procedures, intraoperative findings, final diagnosis, treatment modality, and outcome of patients with impalpable testis who underwent surgery from January 2010 until December 2015. Results. Ninety-one patients were admitted under the diagnosis of impalpable testis. In 39 patients ultrasound detected testis in the inguinal canal and orchidopexy was done. In 25 patients (48.08%) laparoscopy showed the entrance of the spermatic cord into the inguinal canal. Open exploration of the inguinal canal was done, testicular remnant removed, and appropriate testicular prosthesis implanted. Twenty patients (20/52) underwent orchidopexy of the abdominal testis (46.51%), 4 of which underwent Fowler-Stevens procedure in two stages, and in 16 patients deliberation of the testis and spermatic cord was sufficient to place the testis into the scrotum. Conclusions. Excision of the testicular nubbin is highly recommendable, as well as implantation of the testicular prosthesis at the time of orchiectomy.

Isolated presentation of endometriosis of the inguinal canal is infrequent, and the clinical and imaging findings may be misleading in such patients. We describe an otherwise healthy female with isolated inguinal endometriosis presenting as a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. Surgeons should consider such unusual presentations and obtain imaging and histological evaluations in doubtful instances. Complete excision was curative in our patient with no evidence of recurrence.

Endocrine Insufficiency

Cryptorchidism is known to occur in 0.18-3.6% of the population. Impingement of an undescended testicle in the inguinal canal has been described in 1.9% of cases as one of the complications of cryptorchidism along with volvulus and malignant degeneration (up to 15-40%). In 20-80% of cases, cryptorchidism is combined with inguinal hernia. Endocrine insufficiency in cryptorchidism occurs in 4-5% of cases.

9 children aged 4 to 14 years underwent a right-sided inguinal hernia repair, at the same time, a vermiform appendix was found in the hernial sac. All patients were hospitalized with a diagnosis of «Congenital right-sided inguinoscrotal hernia», bilateral hernias were not observed. Objectively, there were all signs of the disease, all hernias were reducible. The presence of the appendix in the hernial sac before the operation was not diagnosed either clinically or by ultrasound. The contents of the hernial sac had a thickened and long vermiform appendix, a greater omentum, and in two cases – a cecum of the type of sliding hernia. The children were operated on under general anesthesia: appendectomy and plastic surgery of posterior wall of inguinal canal were performed. No complications were observed in the postoperative period.
