The study aimed at determining the feasibility of three portal totally Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in smallbreed dogs. Four right sided and one left sided abdomen retained testicles in five dogs weighing 2.2~8.7 kg wereretrieved successfully. Pampiniform plexus and vas deference were ligated and transected with Hem-o-lock/monopolarelectrocauterization (1/5), or ultrasonic scalpel (4/5) and the latter provided more easy, quick and safe hemostasis andtransection. The resected testis was easily removed through a insertion site. Mean surgical time was 19.9 ± 15.2 minutesand when the abdominal cavity was explored again, there were no major complications. The patient recovered favorablywithout unwilling events. This is the case report of laparoscopic cryptorchidectomies in small breed dogs weigh lessthan 10 kg. Laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy could be considered as an alternative in small animal surgery.
