Abstract: This case report documents the first standing laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy performed on a Jeju horse. A 3-year-old Jeju horse underwent the procedure after pre-operative fasting and sedation. Three portals were created:one for the laparoscope and two for instruments. The first undescended testis was located, double ligated for blood flow control, and then transected. Hemostasis was confirmed. The procedure was repeated for the other undescended testis. The time required for this procedure was approximately 2 hours. The horse was hospitalized overnight for monitoring before being discharged the following day. No complications were observed during or after surgery.
