This condition is frequently linked with inguinal hernias and various urogenital irregularities, and it may manifest as an unoccupied opposite scrotum or as a discernible lump in the groin or scrotal area.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patient presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 9-month-old boy was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia, which presented as a 3\u2005cm\u2009\u00d7\u20093\u2005cm palpable mass without pain upon examination. During surgery, both testicles were discovered to be undescended, fused by their ligaments, and had independent vas deferens, vascular supplies, and epididymides. The poorly developed testicles were fixed in the scrotum via Hei's triangle. Postoperative follow-up revealed normal testicular positioning, with no retraction, atrophy, or hernia recurrence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Orchiopexy via Hei's triangle is a new surgical option for patients with Type I TTE who have insufficient length spermatic cord blood vessels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2025.1514662","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,30]],"date-time":"2025-05-30T05:46:25Z","timestamp":1748583985000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A case report of laparoscopic orchopsis for transverse testicular ectopia via the Hesselbach route"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xu","family":"Zhuofan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhao","family":"Xudong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Boxiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1842","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2016.12.009","article-title":"Testicular ectopia: why does it happen and what do we do?","volume":"52","author":"Punwani","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.01.044","article-title":"Transverse testicular ectopia with scrotal hypospadias but without inguinal hernia -
