  • Title: Renosplenic entrapment of the large colon in horses: 33 cases (1984-1989).
    Author: Sivula NJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Jul 15; 199(2):244-6. PubMed ID: 1890036.
    Abstract:
    Between 1984 and 1989, 33 horses were diagnosed with renosplenic entrapment of the large colon. Duration of colic, signalment, physical findings, and laboratory values were determined, and treatment methods were evaluated. Nonsurgical correction was attempted in 22 of the horses with suspected renosplenic entrapment of the large colon and was successful in 11 cases. Survival and complication rates also were determined. Nonsurgical correction is a viable alternative to immediate surgery for renosplenic entrapment of the large colon, if cases are selected properly.
