  • Title: Colopexy.
    Author: Hance SR.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 1997 Aug; 13(2):351-8. PubMed ID: 9290188.
    Abstract:
    Colopexy is a surgical procedure designed to create an adhesion from the ventral colon to the body wall to prevent recurrence of large colon volvulus or displacement, and is a useful technique to prevent recurrence of this disease. Colopexies usually are reserved for broodmares, because this is the population of horses that is most predisposed to recurrence of large colon volvulus.
