Standing equine surgery for rectal, perirectal, and coccygeal conditions is feasible with proper restraint and anesthesia. Effective management of tenesmus and maintaining loose stool are crucial for successful surgical outcomes in horses.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Equine Medicine
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Rectal, perirectal, and coccygeal surgeries in horses present unique challenges.
  • Standing surgery offers an alternative to general anesthesia for specific equine procedures.
  • Adequate restraint and regional anesthesia are critical for successful standing equine surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the feasibility and considerations for performing rectal, perirectal, and coccygeal surgeries in standing horses.
  • To outline common conditions amenable to standing surgical management.
  • To highlight critical perioperative and postoperative care aspects.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical conditions in horses requiring rectal, perirectal, or coccygeal intervention.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of anesthetic and restraint techniques for standing equine surgery.
  • Analysis of postoperative management strategies, focusing on tenesmus and fecal consistency.

    • Main Results:

    • A variety of rectal, perirectal, and coccygeal surgeries can be successfully performed in standing horses.
    • Conditions like rectal tears, prolapses, mass lesions, abscesses, and tail injuries are often manageable.
    • Severe small colon injuries may necessitate alternative surgical approaches or euthanasia.

    Conclusions:

    • Standing equine surgery for rectal and related conditions is viable with appropriate planning.
    • Perioperative management, particularly addressing tenesmus and maintaining soft stools, is paramount for preventing complications.
    • Effective postoperative care ensures successful healing and reduces the risk of surgical failure.
