ABSTRACT: We present a case report of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy in an infant with ovarian prolapse. Using this case study, we demonstrate the role of the ovarian ligamentous apparatus. A structure appearing like the male gubernaculum was identified. The anatomical and functional role of this “gubernaculum” will be the subject of discussion. Further detailed laparoscopic examinations are indicated to better understand the ligamentous anatomy of ovarian prolapse.
