title: [Cryptorchism in the horse].
abstract: Three different forms of cryptorchidism are differentiated in stallions: inguinal, incomplete and complete abdominal cryptorchidism. Following a description of the anatomy of these various conditions, the diagnostic procedure and subsequent surgical treatment are discussed in detail. Both examination and castration of the cryptorchid stallion should be carried out carefully at all times.
