This review article is aimed at providing an update on canine cryptorchidism based on the research studies published in this area over the last 26 years. Although a majority of these research studies were directed at investigating the genetic and molecular basis of cryptorchidism, the mechanisms...

A 2-year-old, 24.8 kg, entire, male, mixed breed dog was evaluated because of acute onset of pollakiuria and stranguria. Abdominal radiographs identified no obvious underlying cause for the stranguria. Abdominal ultrasound revealed prostatic cysts with a periprostatic inflammation. Retrograde...

A 14-week-old male unilaterally cryptorchid Clumber spaniel was presented for acute lethargy. Physical examination revealed abdominal pain, and a single testis was palpated in the scrotum. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) revealed a poorly vascularized, ovoid structure immediately...

Background: Cryptorchidism in dogs is of clinical concern due to its association with development of Sertoli cell tumours, seminomas and spermatic cord torsion. A patent inguinal ring has been found as a risk factor for peritoneal content migration and inguinal hernias. This study reports a case of ...

The study aimed at determining the feasibility of three portal totally Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in small breed dogs. Four right sided and one left sided abdomen retained testicles in five dogs weighing 2.2-8.7 kg were retrieved successfully. Pampiniform plexus and vas deference were ligated...

Traditionally, dogs with abdominally retained testicles are submitted to orchiectomy throughout a ventral midline or parapreputial laparotomy. However, minimally invasive techniques performed using endoscopic equipment are an excellent alternative for the abdominal procedure, because of the...

Objective: To determine differences in the length of time of surgery, pain, and complications between laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy (CL) and cryptorchidectomy through mid-ventral laparotomy (CLMV) in dogs suffering from unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism. Materials and methods: 11 patients were...

The aim of this study was to report a case of anal hypospadias in a male canine, and also the diagnosis and therapeutic management. The patient was treated at the Veterinary Hospital of Federal University of Pelotas. Alterations were observed in both defecation and, especially micturition that was...

Objective - To describe the operative technique for single-port laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy (SPLC) in dogs and cats and evaluate clinical outcome for patients that underwent the procedure. Design - Retrospective case series. Animals - 25 client-owned dogs (n=22) and cats (3). Procedures - Dogs...

A 21-month-old male castrated domestic short hair cat was presented due to suspected unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism. Unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism was confirmed with ultrasonography and laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy was performed. Laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy is a...
