Abstract
We report the first incidental finding of congenital unilateral absence
of the vas deferens and ipsilateral renal agenesis during endoscopic
totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair. The absence of the vasa
deferentia occurs unilateral, associated with renal anomalies, or
bilateral which has a genetic link to cystic fibrosis.13 Jan 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 16 Jan 2021Submission Checks Completed
