Abstract

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 advantages in tissular trauma reduction, less postoperative pain and reduction in complications among other advantages. Two cases of abdominal cryptorchidectomy performed using minimally invasive techniques and ultrasonic scalpel in dogs, are presented in this report. In Colombia, the development of minimally invasive techniques in small animal surgery is still very limited, and this is possibly the first publication in the country regarding the use of this technique in two cases of abdominal cryptorchidism in dogs.
