Resumen: In order to simplify other laparoscopic techniques, a new standing laparoscopic technique for partial closure of inguinal canal (PCIC) has been developed. This technique uses a new anchoring device and can be performed without advanced laparoscopic skills. The aim of this study was to develop a prior evaluation of the effects of this new technique on the stallion reproductive capacity, assessing the sperm production and testicular perfusion. Standing laparoscopic PCIC was performed unilaterally in 8 experimental stallions without evidence of inguinal hernia, using the contralateral canal and testicle as controls
