  • Title: Missed testis on laparoscopy despite blind-ending vessels and closed processus vaginalis.
    Author: Kim C, Bennett N, Docimo SG.
    Journal: Urology; 2005 Jun; 65(6):1226. PubMed ID: 15922436.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopy has become a preferred technique to evaluate a nonpalpable testis. It gives excellent visualization of the anatomy to differentiate a viable or absent testis. We present a case of an intra-abdominal testis that was missed on diagnostic laparoscopy. Despite a closed processus vaginalis, an absent vas deferens, and blind-ending vessels above the internal ring, the testis was missed.
