  • Title: Treatment of hygromata in horses.
    Author: van Veenendaal JC, Speirs VC, Harrison I.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1981 Nov; 57(11):513-4. PubMed ID: 7342936.
    Abstract:
    A surgical technique of open drainage, using penrose drains and pressure bandages, was used for the treatment of hygromata in four horses. In 3 cases with hygroma of the carpus, one with a secondary infection, there was complete resolution of the condition whereas in the one case with hygroma of the elbow resolution was more protracted because of difficulties in bandaging. The cosmetic and functional results after operation were most satisfactory.
