For the intra-abdominal testes, a laparotomic approach is generally recommended; however, laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in cats has been documented in a few clinical case reports. The aim of the study was to report the short-term clinical outcomes for 19 cryptorchid cats with intra-abdominal testes that underwent cryptorchidectomy with laparoscopic techniques. Medical records of client-owned sexually intact male cats that underwent laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in different veterinary hospitals or ambulatory surgical services were reviewed. The procedure was performed in 19 cats. The average time (mean \u00b1 standard deviation, SD) for all procedures was 23 \u00b1 6 min (range 15\u201335 min). The time for laparoscopic removal of a single abdominal testis was 22 \u00b1 6 min, with 30 min for the bilateral abdominal testes. The time until hospital discharge varied depending on the surgeon\u2019s criteria, with a mean of 6 h (range 3\u201324 hrs). None of the cases analyzed showed any surgical complications. The results of this study suggest that laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy is an appropriate surgical procedure to treat cryptorchid cats with intra-abdominal testes, all with benefits of minimal invasion surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13010181","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]],"date-time":"2023-01-04T01:42:44Z","timestamp":1672796564000},"page":"181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Retrospective Study of Laparoscopic Cryptorchidectomy in 19 Cats with Intra-Abdominal Testes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Villalobos-Gomez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Veterinario Del Valle, Mexico City 03100, Mexico"},{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7438-4743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Del-Angel-Caraza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"},{"name":"Hospital Veterinario para Peque\u00f1as Especies FMVZ-UAEMex, Toluca 50130, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Tapia-Araya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"},{"name":"LaparoEndoVet, Mobile Laparoscopy and Endoscopy Service, 43820 Tarragona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fausto","family":"Brandao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"},{"name":"Veterinary Minimally Invasive Surgery & Interventional Procedures, 2640-402 Mafra, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Andr\u00e9s","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"},{"name":"Cirug\u00eda de M\u00ednima Invasion Veterinaria, Mobile Service, Medellin 055420, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franscisco","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Gomariz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"},{"name":"Centro Murciano de Endoscopia Veterinaria, 30150 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Eduardo","family":"Botero-Crespo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"},{"name":"Equipo de Cirug\u00eda Minimamente Invasiva Veterinaria, Bogota 11321, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Properzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sociedad Latinoamericana de Endoscopia Veterinaria-SLEV, Medellin 055420, Colombia"},{"name":"Studio Med Vet Properzi, 16035 Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"508","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2011.05.008","article-title":"Feline reproduction: Problems and clinical challenges","volume":"13","author":"Little","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
