  • Title: Cryptorchidism and monorchism in cats: 25 cases (1980-1989).
    Author: Millis DL, Hauptman JG, Johnson CA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1992 Apr 15; 200(8):1128-30. PubMed ID: 1351479.
    Abstract:
    Of 1,345 cats admitted for orchiectomy during a 10-year period, 23 (1.7%) were cryptorchid and 2 (0.1%) were monorchid. Persian cats were over-represented in the cryptorchid population (P = 0.01). Cats were more likely to be unilaterally than bilaterally cryptorchid (P = 0.01). A predisposition for location of undescended testes (abdominal vs inguinal or right vs left side) was not identified in unilateral cryptorchids. All bilateral cryptorchids had abdominally located testes. The most common surgical approaches used for orchiectomy of cryptorchid cats were a caudal ventral midline incision for inguinal testes and a caudal ventral midline celiotomy for abdominal testes.
