Castration in the standing horse combining laparoscopic and conventional techniques.

Veterinary Hospital Visdonk, Roosendaal, the Netherlands.
Background: Standing laparoscopic castration without orchidectomy has been shown to be a reliable method of castration in animals with abdominal cryptorchidism, but it cannot be recommended as a method of castration in those with inguinal cryptorchidism or normal males. An alternative laparoscopic method for the castration of horses with descended testes was developed.
Objectives: To report the results of laparoscopy-assisted abdominal transection of the spermatic cord and a modified open method in the standing horse for castration of descended testes in unilateral abdominal cryptorchids.
How securely is the testicular artery occluded in the spermatic cord by using a ligature?

Veterinary Clinic Duurstede, Wijk bij Duurstede, The Netherlands.
Reasons For Performing Study: There are no studies on the ideal ligature technique for the spermatic cord.
Objectives: To compare the maximal resistance pressure in the testicular artery and the maximal tensile forces to produce failure of 2 different ligature techniques used for ligation of the equine spermatic cord.
Methods: The capabilities of 2 types of ligatures, single knot loop and double knot loop, were assessed using a pressure-resistance test in testicular arteries and with an in vitro mechanical evaluation of the tensile strength by single cycle-to-failure testing.
