Abstract
Testicular ascent to the inguinal region after hernia repair has been previously reported as a rare complication of this surgery in pediatric patients. This article presents two cases of adult patients with ascending testicles after inguinal hernia repair that was performed in childhood. Both men underwent orchidopexy through a combined inguinal and scrotal approach, the latter for the creation of a sub-dartos pouch. In both cases, this intervention was completed successfully without complication and resulted in a satisfactory post-operative position of the testicles in the scrotal sac. This surgical approach appears to be a safe management option for adult men with ascending testicles after inguinal hernia repair.
