Abstract

The three cases of cryptorchid are reported here in order to demonstrate the different surgical techniques that were carried out to remove crytochid testes in dogs and to introduce clinical cases on crytorchidism. Three dogs were presented in the clinic of Ecole Veterinaire de Lyon in May, 1998 with two in the left-sided unilateral abdominal cryptorchid and with one in bilateral inguinal mobile cryptorchid. There were two poodle at the age of more than 4 years old and 8 years old respectively with one boxer at 4 years old. In two abdominal cryptotchids, the skin was incised in caudal paramedian approach. Then, the linea alba were incised and cryptorchidectomy was peformed accompaning one with castration and the other with vasectomy by the request of the owners. In inguinal testicles, prescrotal skin incision was made to remove both testicles. The surgical outcome was good without any Their behaviors became agreeable as the proprietors reported. In the dog with vasectomy, the behavior changes were not noticeable.
