Criptorquidectomia em coelhos: modelo experimental para tratamento laparoscópico

Cryptorchidism is considered the congenital testicuiar disease most frequent in domestic animals, having the orchiectomy as therapeutical indication. In the present study, an unilateral cryptorchidism model in rabbit was developed, with the aim to test the viability for practicing laparoscopic diagnoses and surgery. The model preparation was easy to perform permiting the development of laparoscopic skills, simulatIng clinical situation in small animal practice.
