Abstract
Some infants with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) reportedly develop inguinal hernia (IH). These infants’ testes are mostly located in the proximal deep inguinal ring or abdominal cavity. There are few reports on testes present in the labia majora (distal to the superficial inguinal ring) in newborns; however, there is no report on testes fixed to the labia majora that were preserved and moved into the abdominal cavity. Here two cases of successful laparoscopic hernia repair and orchiopexy to move the testes from the labia majora into the abdominal cavity in pediatric patients with AIS having IH are reported.
