    When we evaluate our case using this classification system, it corresponds to a type I poly-vasa deferentia because there were two different VD without polyorchidism and an ectopic ureter. Based on the literature, VD duplication is often incidentally found during an inguinal hernia repair,5,6,8,9,15,16 undescended testicle surgery,4,17–21 vasectomy,7,14,22–24 vasectomy reversal,12 varicocelectomy,3,11 radical prostatectomy,10 ectopic ureter surgery,25 autopsy,30 and cadaver studies,31 and our case A duplicated VD may be associated with other congenital abnormalities such as ipsilateral renal agenesis and cystic fibrosis.1,9,25
