We report the first incidental finding of congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens and ipsilateral renal agenesis during endoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair. The absence of the vasa deferentia occurs unilateral, associated with renal anomalies, or bilateral which has a genetic link to cystic fibrosis.
