Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding neonatal foal surgery.
  • Analysis of diagnostic approaches for gastrointestinal, umbilical, and bladder disorders.
  • Evaluation of surgical treatment strategies and their outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Early recognition and improved nursing care enhance foal survival rates.
  • Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment of neonatal surgical conditions.
  • Specific treatment protocols and prognostic factors are essential for successful outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Advances in neonatal care have made abdominal surgery more feasible and necessary in young foals.
  • Accurate and timely diagnosis is paramount for successful surgical intervention.
  • Understanding specific treatment considerations and prognosis improves outcomes for foals undergoing abdominal exploratory surgery.
