  • Title: Partial typhlectomy and ileocolostomy for treatment of nonreducible cecocolic intussusception in a horse.
    Author: Ward JL, Fubini SL.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1994 Jul 15; 205(2):325-8. PubMed ID: 7928613.
    Abstract:
    Cecocolic intussusception was detected in a 2-year-old male Standardbred horse with a 3-day history of signs of intermittent colic. The entire cecum, which was located within the lumen of the right ventral colon, was edematous and necrotic, and could not be manually reduced. A colotomy was made, and partial typhlectomy was performed. An ileocolostomy also was performed. To prevent eversion of the cecal base, the site of invagination into the colon was oversewn. Several postoperative complications were treated, including peritonitis, thrombophlebitis, anemia, and hypoproteinemia, and 1 year after surgery, the horse was healthy and in training.
