Plain-English summary
A 21-month-old male domestic short hair cat was brought in because he might have a retained testicle in his abdomen, a condition known as unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism. The vet confirmed this with an ultrasound and performed a laparoscopic-assisted surgery to remove the retained testicle. This minimally invasive procedure is quick and safe, making it a good option for treating this issue in cats. The cat recovered well after the surgery.

Abstract
A 21-month-old male castrated domestic short hair cat was presented due to suspected unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism. Unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism was confirmed with ultrasonography and laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy was performed. Laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy is a simple, fast and safe method for the treatment of abdominal cryptorchidism in dogs and cats, offering the benefits of minimal invasive surgery, which is still underreported in the veterinary literature.
