  • Title: Ileocecal intussusception corrected by resection within the cecum in two horses.
    Author: Beard WL, Byrne BA, Henninger RW.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1992 Jun 15; 200(12):1978-80. PubMed ID: 1639709.
    Abstract:
    Irreducible ileocecal intussusceptions pose a difficult surgical problem. Strangulating ileocecal intussusceptions involving the ileum and jejunum were identified in 2 horses undergoing exploratory laparotomy because of colic. Surgical correction in both horses was achieved by amputation of the ileocecal intussusception from within the cecal lumen, via typhlotomy. The inverted ileal stump was blindly stapled near the ileocecal orifice after pulling the intussusceptum into the cecum. A jejunocecostomy was performed to reestablish intestinal continuity.
