Laparoscopic surgery has become an accepted method of identification and removal of intra-abdominal testes in the horse. In the veterinary literature there are few reports in which standing laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy could not be performed in stallions, including miniature horse too. This report describes the surgical management of a Canadian pony diagnosed with partial abdominal unilaterally cryptorchidism at which laparoscopic castration has failed and the removal of the retained testicle has been made through inguinal celiotomy. A 4-year-old unilaterally cryptorchid Canadian pony was admitted in the Surgery Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Timioara for castration. The left testis was in the scrotum, but neither the right testis nor the right epididymis could be located by external palpation of the right inguinal canal. The proposed treatment was laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy with pony standing in stock. With a long-handled forceps inserted into the abdominal cavity, the testis cord was gently grasped and moderate traction was applied without success in bringing the testicle into the abdomen (retained testis). After the failure of laparascopic cryptorchidectomy but having an exact diagnosis (partial abdominal unilaterally cryptorchidism), we have proceeded to open cryptorchidectomy via inguinal approach with pony anesthetized and positioned in dorsal recumbency. This case report reveals that the major disadvantage of the cryptorchidectomy by flank approach is the inability to remove an inguinally retained testis. Conclusion: If the location of the testis is unknown, the standing laparoscopic diagnose can be decisive. Cryptorchidectomy via inguinal approach and noninvasive method for identifying and everting the vaginal process by traction of the inguinal extension of the gubernaculum testis are commonly facile procedure, and this report describes, according to our knowledge, that this procedure has been performed for the first time in Romania.
