ABSTRACT

This report documents a dog's retained intra-abdominal testicle. An approximately eighteen-month-old male Golden Retriever was referred to Lifeline Vet Hospital and Research Center due to increased sexual activity. Physical examination of scrotum confirmed cryptorchidism. Initially, radiographic imaging did not locate position of retained testes, subsequently ultrasonography was performed to confirm the position of retained gonads. Blood work determined normal physiological parameters and midline exploratory laparotomy was performed under general anesthesia to remove retained testes. Post-operative care was done with parenteral antibiotics administration and wound management. The study focuses on diagnostic challenges of cryptorchid testes, significance of ultrasonography on diagnosis and early surgical intervention to prevent complications like testicular neoplasia, sertolima and hormonal imbalances.
