Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in standing bulls

[摘要] References(23)Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy without insufflation was applied in 10 standing bulls aged3 to 15 months. Nine bulls were preoperatively pointed out intra-abdominal testes bycomputed tomography. Preoperative fasting for a minimum of 24 hr provided laparoscopicvisualization of intra-abdominal area from the kidney to the inguinal region. Surgicalprocedure was interrupted by intra-abdominal fat and testis size. It took 0.6 to 1.5 hr in4 animals weighing 98 to 139 kg, 0.8 to 2.8 hr in 4 animals weighing 170 to 187 kg, and 3and 4 hr in 2 animals weighing 244 and 300 kg to complete the cryptorchidectomy. Inconclusion, standing gasless laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy seems to be most suitable forbulls weighing from 100 to 180 kg.
