The entrance to the scrotum, or the so-called "third inguinal ring" (3rd IGR), was thought to be an important finding and etiological factor for cryptorchidism at the beginning of the 20th century. Historical reports of its association with undescended testis suggest that it was considered by many to be a true anatomical entity. As the understanding of testicular descent has changed, the description of this anatomical passage has vanished from textbooks and publications. In order to evaluate the findings that led to its original report, we sought to assess the patency of the expected testicular path of descent into the scrotum in children with unilateral cryptorchidism.
