2017, Journal of the Anatomical Society of IndiaCitation Excerpt :The diagnosis of duplication of the VD can be made by physical examination, however such a rare anomaly is not readily suspected, and therefore, rarely diagnosed during a routine physical examination.2 The duplication of the VD is most commonly identified during some urogenital surgical procedures such as vasectomy and varicocelectomy or during an inguinal hernia repair.2–25 The recognition and interpretation of this anomaly is important to avoid iatrogenic injury to the VD during surgery as well as to prevent an ineffective vasectomy.
Proximally Directed Double-looped Epididymis and Vas Deferens Simulating Vas Duplication: The Importance of Precise Definition of Abnormal Ductal Anatomy in Cryptorchidism
2016, UrologyCitation Excerpt :Failure to recognize and to accurately define these abnormalities could result in transection of the ductal system at either end during orchidopexy, especially when the vas had already been “identified previously” during the mobilization. Furthermore, the appearance of two tubular ductal structures is a likely explanation for at least some previous reports of vas duplication.24-28 These unusual cases of proximal extension and looping reemphasize the importance of recognizing and diagnosing fully the precise anatomy of abnormal ductal structures encountered in association with cryptorchid testes.
