Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Equine Medicine

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques are increasingly important in veterinary medicine.
  • Laparoscopy offers potential benefits over traditional open surgery in horses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic procedures in standing horses.
  • To detail specific laparoscopic surgical options for equine patients.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic techniques were employed for various abdominal procedures.
  • Procedures included guided visceral biopsy, cryptorchid castration, ovariectomy, and abdominal exploration.
  • Horses were maintained in a standing position during surgery.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic procedures were successfully performed in standing horses.

  • The techniques demonstrated applicability for biopsy, castration, ovariectomy, and exploration.
  • Standing laparoscopy provides a viable alternative to more invasive surgeries.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic surgery is a practical and less invasive option for select equine abdominal procedures.
    • Standing laparoscopy in horses allows for procedures like biopsy, castration, and ovariectomy.
    • This approach minimizes patient stress and recovery time compared to traditional methods.
