Maybe they used disolvable sutures? I'm no vet but I guess they could have snipped the seminal vesicle or something? I think there's a minimally invasive way of doing it? It it's done to just prevent the guys from getting the gals pregnant, but they still get access to all the hormones. We did it because the doggie daycare and the city required it for Rocky to be able to play with other dogs in doggie parks and for that reason the testicles should be removed to decrease the amount of testosterone and decrease aggressive behavior. Also I know that some vets will place prosthetic testicles in the scrotum so that the dog doesn't feel like it lost its manhood or it's probably more for the parents. Our vet used Vicryl sutures, they're stronger and don't dissolve on their own. If I were you I'd call your vet and find out exactly what they did. And let us know. I'm very interested to find out if there were other options for my future dogs.
