  • Title: Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy and ovariectomy in horses.
    Author: Hendrickson D.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2006 Dec; 22(3):777-98. PubMed ID: 17129803.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic surgery has become commonplace in the field of equine urogenital surgery. As with most surgical procedures, the limiting factors in developing new surgical techniques are limited to the patient size and demeanor, the skills of the surgeon, and the available equipment. Some of the greatest benefits of laparoscopic surgery in the horse include better visualization of the important structures; tension-free amputation of the testes or ovaries,which generally leads to less postoperative pain; and the ability to evaluate the transected stump carefully to make sure there is no hemorrhage. This article is limited to the use of laparoscopy for cryptorchidectomy and ovariectomy.
