Abstract		Fourteen cryptorchid stallions that had been castrated at the Equine Clinic of the Veterinary Faculty in Ljubljana were analysed. There were 8 stallions with unilateral cryptorchidism (left side). Seven of them had a testicle retained in the inguinal canal and the other one had a testicle retained in its abdominal cavity. The other six stallions were diagnosed as bilateral cryptorchids. Four had testicles retained in the inguinal canal, the right testicle of another was in the abdominal cavity, and a seven-year-old stallion, which was a triorchid with two right testicles, had testicles retained in both the inguinal canal and the abdominal cavity. The age of the animals ranged from one to seven years, with an average age of 3 years. The breeds were as follows: 5 Slovene thoroughbreds, 2 Hungarian thoroughbreds, 3 Icelandic stallions, 2 trotters, one Lipizzaner and one Bohemian thoroughbred. The surgeon approached the testicles through a wound in either the inguinal or parainguinal areas which, with the exception of the inguinal canal, was later sutured with resorptive suture material. The horses were kept at the clinic for 10 to 12 days after emasculation.
Summary		Opravili smo analizo 14 žrebcev - kriptorhidov, ki so bili kastrirani na Kliniki za konje Veterinarske fakultete v Ljubljani. Osem žrebcev je imelo enostranski kriptorhizem (na levi strani). Med temi je sedmim modo ostalo v dimeljskem kanalu, enemu pa v trebušni votlini. Šest žrebcev je imelo obojestranski kriptorhizem. Med njimi so pri štirih moda ostala v dimeljskem kanalu, eden je imel dsno modo v trebušni votlini, sedemletni žrebec pa je bil triorhid. Imel je dve desni modi (v dimeljskem kanalu in v trebušni votlini). Operirane živali so bile stare od enega do sedem let (povprečno 3 leta). Pasemska sestava je bila naslednja: 5 je bilo slovenskih toplokrvnih žrebcev, 2 sta bila madžarska toplokrvna žrebca, trije so bili islandski žrebci, dva sta bila kasača, po eden pa lipicanec in češki toplokrvni žrebec. Kirurški dostop do mod je bil skozi rano v ingvinalnem oziroma paraingvinalnem področju. Rana v paraingvinalnem področju je bila po kastraciji zašita z resorptivnim šivalnim materialom, med tem ko ingvinalnega kanala nismo šivali. Konji so ostali po kastraciji od 10 do 12 dni na kliniki.
