Abstract:
This report describes laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy in 2 Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs. Abdominal access was obtained by a modified-Hasson technique allowing for placement of a 6 mm laparoscopic trocar-cannula assembly. Following carbon dioxide insufflation, 2 para-preputial 6 mm instrument portals were established. The cryptorchid testicle was extracted from the abdomen following enlargement of the para-preputial instrument portal and cryptorchidectomy was performed extra-corporeally.
