  • Title: [Unsuccessful laparoscopic castration in a cryptorchid Frisian stallion].
    Author: Voermans M, van der Velden MA.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 2006 Nov 01; 131(21):774-7. PubMed ID: 17137220.
    Abstract:
    A 2-year-old unilateral inguinal cryptorchid Frisian stallion was castrated by bilateral laparoscopic intra-abdominal spermatic cord transection. Because blood testosterone levels were still high on postoperative day 7, both testicles were removed using an open approach. Pathology revealed the presence of vital Leydig-cells in both testes. Failure of the laparoscopic castration in this horse was attributed to an alternate blood supply to the testes by vessels derived from the cremaster and/or external pudendal artery.
