    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Equine Medicine
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Large abdominal wall defects in horses can arise from trauma or surgical complications, posing significant challenges to patient health and recovery.
    • Traditional repair methods may be insufficient for extensive defects, necessitating advanced surgical techniques.
    • Polypropylene monofilament mesh is a commonly used synthetic material in hernia repair due to its strength and biocompatibility.

    Observation:

    • A large abdominal wall defect was identified in an American Saddlehorse.
    • Surgical intervention involved the implantation of a polypropylene monofilament mesh to bridge the defect.
    • The surgical procedure aimed to restore the structural integrity of the abdominal wall.

    Findings:

    • The implantation of polypropylene monofilament mesh successfully repaired the large abdominal wall defect.
    • The equine patient demonstrated positive outcomes following the mesh implantation surgery.
    • The use of polypropylene monofilament mesh proved effective in managing extensive abdominal wall defects in this case.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the efficacy of polypropylene monofilament mesh in the surgical management of large abdominal wall defects in horses.
    • The findings suggest that mesh implantation is a viable and effective treatment option for similar cases in equine surgery.
    • Further research could explore long-term outcomes and variations in mesh application techniques for abdominal wall reconstruction in horses.
