Popis: We describe a case of spontaneous, rapid, atraumatic transcanalicular translocation of a previously retractile testis into the abdomen of a post-pubertal 16-year-old male. The testis was lowered back into the inferior scrotum laparoscopically, through a patent processus vaginalis, and was under no tension in that location without lengthening of cord structures. At 7 months postoperative, the patient reported bilateral intrascrotal testicles with no further complications. This exceptional case demonstrates that post-pubertal males with a history of retractile testis may be at risk for developing testicular translocation into the abdomen.
