    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Equine Medicine

    Background:

    • Rectal prolapse is a condition affecting horses.
    • Surgical intervention is often required for correction.

    Observation:

    • Eleven horses with rectal prolapse were evaluated.
    • Nine cases underwent submucosal resection for correction.

    Findings:

    • A modified submucosal resection technique, apposing mucosa and submucosa, was used in four horses.
    • Long-term follow-up (4 months to 6 years) of eight horses showed no recurrence of rectal prolapse after resection.

    Implications:

    • Submucosal resection is a viable and effective surgical treatment for equine rectal prolapse.
    • The modified technique may offer improved long-term success rates.
    • Further research into equine rectal prolapse treatments is warranted.
