Abstrakt: The major objective of this study was to describe the use of morcellation for standing laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in 30 client-owned horses. A second objective was to describe a laparoscopic-assisted standing scrotal technique for removal of a descended testis in unilateral cryptorchids. Morcellation for extraction of abdominal testes is effective, efficient, and well-tolerated. Morcellation enabled safe and straightforward extraction of testes from the abdomen through an approximately 13- to 20-mm incision using a 2-portal technique. No incisional or morcellator-related complications occurred. Our laparoscopic-assisted standing scrotal technique for removal of a descended testis in unilateral cryptorchids entails intra-abdominal sealing and transection of the spermatic cord under laparoscopic viewing and subsequent removal of the testis through a scrotal incision. This technique enabled the surgeon to confirm hemostasis after transection of the spermatic cord and allowed tension-free removal of the descended testis. No intra-operative or incisional complications were encountered.
