Abstract :
Background:
Bilateral undescended testes (cryptorchidism) in adults is a rare condition and often associated with infertility and
increased malignancy risk. Timely surgical intervention is vital for fertility preservation and oncological safety.
Case Presentation:
A 35-year-old male presented to the surgical OPD of Karnali Academy of Health Sciences with groin swelling and
dull pain. Imaging revealed bilateral intra-abdominal testes with associated hernia. Successful bilateral orchiopexy and
hernioplasty were performed. Postoperative semen analysis was normal.
Conclusion:
Timely surgical preservation of undescended testes even in adulthood can lead to favorable fertility outcomes. Long-
term surveillance is recommended for malignancy risk.
