Abstract

Introduction


Congenital anomalies of the vas deferens discovered during hemiorrhaphy are uncommon. Congenital absence of vas seen in 1% boys, may be associated with renal agenesis1. The abnormalities of vas are often associated with cystic fibrosis and cryptorchidism2. Cases of duplicate vas deferens are rare. Most of these cases are accompanied by unilateral renal hypoplasia and ectopia of the ureter, that mimics a supemumeraiy vas3. The following seems to be a unique case of true duplication of vas deferens found incidentally during inguinal herniorrhaphy in a 60 years old man with normal renal anatomy.
