Background:

Abdominal cryptorchidism, the retention of testes within the abdominal cavity, presents a surgical challenge in veterinary medicine.
Diagnosis often requires advanced imaging techniques like ultrasonography.

Observation:

A 21-month-old male domestic short hair cat presented with suspected unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism.
Ultrasonography confirmed the diagnosis of retained abdominal testicle.

Findings:

Laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy was successfully performed.
This minimally invasive approach is noted for its simplicity, speed, and safety.

Implications:

Laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy is a viable and beneficial treatment for abdominal cryptorchidism in cats and dogs.

Keywords:

Cat cryptrochidism laparoscopy
