Penopubic testicular ectopia with bilateral cryptorchidism presenting as obstructed inguinal Amyand's hernia.

ABSTRACT: Testicular ectopia is an aberrant deviation of the migration of the testis from its usual path of descent into the scrotum. Of the forms of ectopic testis, the penopubic (also called pubopenile) type is one of the least common; in this case, presented as an obstructed hernia. We report a rare case of penopubic testicular ectopia with bilateral cryptorchidism in a 17-year-old boy who presented to the emergency room with right obstructed inguinal hernia. Intraoperative findings included bilateral cryptorchidism, hernia sac with right undescended testis and normal vermiform appendix, a left penopubic testis abutting the hernia sac. Both testes had separate epididymides and adequate length of vasa deferentia and were transposed into their respective hemiscrotum via an open inguinal approach. The patient had an uneventful recovery. Penopubic testicular ectopia can present as obstructed Amyand's hernia. Early open groin exploration with orchidopexy was satisfactory.

Project description:BackgroundInternational guidelines currently recommend laparoscopy for bilateral inguinal hernia repair (BIHR). Our study aims to evaluate the trends and factors associated with the choice of laparoscopy for BIHR in Spain.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing BIHR between 2016 and 2019. We used the national database of the Spanish Ministry of Health: RAE-CMBD. We performed a univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify the factors associated with the utilization of laparoscopy. We identified perioperative complications and the factors associated with their occurrence through multivariable logistic regression analysis.ResultsA total of 21,795 BIHRs were performed: 84% by open approach and 16% by laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopic approach increased from 12% in 2016 to 23% in 2019 (p < 0.001). The 40% of hospitals did not use laparoscopy, and only 8% of the hospitals performed more than 50% of their BIHRs by laparoscopy. The utilization rate of laparoscopy was not related to the number of BIHRs performed per year (p = 0.145). The main factor associated with the choice of laparoscopy in multivariable logistic regression analysis was the patient's region of residence (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.88-2.21). Other factors were age < 65 years (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.52-1.79) and recurrent inguinal hernia (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.15-1.49). The type of approach for BIHR was not independently associated with perioperative complications.ConclusionsDespite a significant increase in recent years, laparoscopic BIHR in Spain remains low. The main factor associated with the utilization of laparoscopy was the patient's region of residence; this factor seems to be related to the presence of hospitals with a high rate of laparoscopic approaches where the patient lives. The type of approach was not independently associated with perioperative complications. More efforts are needed to increase laparoscopic use in patients with bilateral inguinal hernias.
