Plain-English summary
A one-year-old male Jack Russell terrier developed a large swelling in the groin area after a routine neutering surgery. When the vet couldn't find the source of the bleeding and a pressure bandage didn't help, they performed a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopy. They discovered the bleeding was coming from the spermatic cord and were able to stop it using a special device. After removing the swelling, the dog recovered well without any complications.

Abstract
A one-year-old male Jack Russell terrier developed a prescrotal haematoma after elective orchiectomy. When surgical exploration failed to locate the responsible vessel and conservative therapy (applying a pressure bandage) was not successful in stabilising the dog, abdominal laparoscopy was performed. The haemorrhage originated from the spermatic cord in the inguinal canal bilaterally. After retracting the spermatic cord into the abdomen, haemostasis was performed using a vessel-sealing device. The prescrotal haematoma was removed and the dog made an uncomplicated recovery.
