    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Equine Infectious Diseases
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Babesia equi infection poses challenges in equine research.
    • Experimental studies require specific surgical interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the successful splenectomy in aged horses.
    • To evaluate surgical approaches for splenectomy in equine models.

    Main Methods:

    • Splenectomy was performed on two aged horses.
    • Surgical approaches involving the 16th and 17th ribs were compared.

    Main Results:

    • Successful splenectomy was achieved in both horses.
    • Resection of the 17th rib proved to be the most acceptable surgical approach.
  • The 17th rib approach avoided complications seen with the 16th rib approach.

    • Conclusions:

    • Splenectomy is a feasible procedure in aged horses for experimental purposes.
    • The 17th rib resection offers an improved surgical method for equine splenectomy.
