Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare anomaly in which both the testes descend through a single inguinal canal and enter the same hemiscrotum. While TTE most commonly occurs in children, a few cases have been reported in adults as well. In this report, we present a case of TTE found accidentally during robotic exploration for right inguinal hernia with left cryptorchidism. Surgeons who frequently engage in the repair of inguinal hernia should be aware of the diagnostic and management options available to them when this condition is found unexpectedly during exploration.
睾丸横过异位（TTE）是一种罕见的异常情况，即双侧睾丸通过单一腹股沟管下降并进入同一侧阴囊。虽然TTE最常见于儿童，但也有少数成人病例的报道。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例在机器人辅助下探查右侧腹股沟疝伴左侧隐睾时意外发现的TTE病例。经常进行腹股沟疝修补手术的外科医生应了解在探查过程中意外发现这种情况时可供他们选择的诊断和处理方法。
