  • Title: Left dorsal displacement of the colon with splenic adhesions in three horses.
    Author: Moll HD, Schumacher J, Dabareiner RM, Slone DE.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1993 Aug 01; 203(3):425-7. PubMed ID: 8226221.
    Abstract:
    Three horses underwent exploratory celiotomy because of signs of acute abdominal pain. At surgery, all horses were diagnosed as having left dorsal displacement of the large colon. Each surgery was complicated by fibrous adhesions of the spleen to the body wall. All horses had previously undergone abdominal surgery for colic. In these cases, it appeared that the left large colon displaced cranially and then entered the renosplenic space from a cranial to caudal direction. Adhesions of the spleen to the body wall would prevent correction of left dorsal displacement of the large colon by the rolling technique.
