  • Title: Small-intestinal volvulus as a complication of acquired inguinal hernia in two horses.
    Author: Moll HD, Juzwiak JS, Santschi EM, Slone DE.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Apr 15; 198(8):1413-4. PubMed ID: 2061159.
    Abstract:
    Volvulus of the small intestine was diagnosed as a complication of acquired inguinal herniation in 2 horses. One of the horses continued to have signs of pain after reduction of the hernia. The volvulus was diagnosed at a second surgery, but the intestine was devitalized, and the horse was euthanatized. Ventral midline exploratory surgery was performed on the second horse, in conjunction with an inguinal approach. The small-intestinal volvulus was diagnosed and corrected at this time. It is suggested that ventral midline abdominal exploration be performed when acquired inguinal herniation causes acute small-intestinal obstruction in horses.
