The surgical procedure was performed on the standing horse through a flank approach using four laparoscopic portals. The vaginal ring was covered with a commercial mesh. The mesh was partially cut to create a slitted mesh with two flaps: the dorsal flap was passed under the spermatic cord and ductus deferens and the ventral flap above. The mesh was secured in place with laparoscopic tacks. Long\u2010term follow\u2010up was obtained by a structured telephone interview of the owners.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 32 laparoscopic vaginal rings closures were successfully performed in 17 horses. No major intra\u2010 or postoperative complications occurred. None of the horse suffered from re\u2010occurrence. Nine of the 13 active breeding stallions were breeding again with similar semen quality as before treatment, 4\/13 will resume their breeding activity during the next breeding season. None of the horses were castrated and none of the owners reported abnormal size or shape of the testicles. In three stallions, post\u2010operative pain and activity limitations were noted that gradually resolved after 6\u00a0months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
