Cryptorchid Surgery
Cryptorchidism is a common condition in which a male horse has a retained testicle or testicles. During development, either one or both testicles may fail to drop down into the horse’s scrotum. The testicle may be retained in the abdomen or in the space between the abdomen and the scrotum. The testicle is surgically removed either with a standard surgical approach or using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique.
