Abstract
Equine surgery continues to benefit from advances in laparoscopic tech niques. Descriptions of the normal anatomy of the standing horse and a dvances in instrumentation have improved our ability to perform laparo scopic surgery in both standing and dorsally recumbent horses. The com mon uses for laparoscopy are diagnostic laparoscopy, cryptorchidectomy , ovariectomy, and diagnostic thoracoscopy. Other reported uses includ e inguinal hernia repair, ruptured bladder repair, and ventral colopex y.
