Testicular descent is a complex mechanism influenced by hormonal and anatomical factors. Whatever the age of the patient or the descent technique used for either one or both testes, there is a risk of degeneration and sterility counts. Anatomical studies and the results of sperm are important, hence the importance of establishing a precise anatomical and therapeutic classification.

Transverse testicular ectopy (TTE) is a rare anomaly in which both testicles descend through the same inguinal canal. Different variants of this anomaly exist, with the most common presenting as two separate spermatic cords and testicular vessel bundles.

During the 1890s, animal development became associated with glandular activity, with profound implications for pediatric nosology and treatment. The significance of this endocrinological turn of developmental physiology and pathophysiology in part hinges on an often-overlooked continuity with ubiquitous early modern medical thought concerning semen as a recrementitious (reabsorbed) nutrient or stimulant. Mid-19th-century interests in adult sexual physiology were increasingly nerve-centered and antihumoral.

Perineal ectopic testis (PET) is a rare form of testicular migration abnormality. We report a case of neonatal PET diagnosis and early management. In reported cases, diagnosis is often late, well after the age of 1 year, and surgery is conventionally performed by an inguinal and scrotal approach.

Undescended testis is a common situation in pediatric age groups, often asymptomatic. Torsion of an undescended testis remains an exceptional condition. Delayed diagnosis in many cases involves the prognosis of the testis, hence the importance of a correct clinical assessment including the examination of the external genitalia.

Background: Ductus deferens may manifest in a variety of anomalies such as its absence, duplication, ectopy, or diverticulum. Ectopic seminal tract opening has two main types, ectopic ejaculatory duct opening, and ectopic vas deferens opening. Generally, ductus deferens anomalies affect approximately 0.
