The head of the urology department in J.J. Hospital, Dr. Venkat Gite carried out the surgery and removed these unwanted organs from the man's body. Dr. Gite stated this a rare condition with only 200 cases registered so far in the world. He further stated that the patient is healthy but his infertility cannot be cured as his testes are still in the abdomen and he suffers from azoospermia where the semen doesn't contain sperms.
