There are many applications for laparoscopy in small animal surgery. A relatively simple one is abdominal cryptorchid castration. Laparoscopic examination of the peritoneal cavity can both aid in the diagnosis of abdominal cryptorchidism and allow treatment using either a totally laparoscopic or a laparoscopic-assisted technique. Minimally invasive cryptorchid castration obviates the need for "open" celiotomy and may thereby reduce postoperative discomfort and wound-related complications in these patients.
腹腔镜检查在小动物外科手术中有许多应用。一个相对简单的应用是腹腔隐睾阉割术。对腹腔进行腹腔镜检查既有助于诊断腹腔隐睾症，又能采用完全腹腔镜技术或腹腔镜辅助技术进行治疗。微创隐睾阉割术无需进行“开放式”剖腹术，从而可减少这些患者术后的不适和与伤口相关的并发症。
