SummaryTwenty-two horses with colic, referred to the University of Liverpool Equine Hospital (1992-1998), were found at laparotomy to have a partial obstruction of the large colon caused by a segmental mural lesion located in the left dorsal colon. The decision to take the horses to surgery was based on rectal examination findings of secondary impaction and mural oedema of the large colon and turbid peritoneal fluid containing large numbers of neutrophils obtained by paracentesis. The affected segment of colon showed oedema and serosal changes varying from erythema to well-defined necrosis. These. pathological changes were considered to be sufficiently severe in 16 horses to merit partial resection of the left colon. Histology revealed varying degrees of mucosal necrosis, marked submucosal oedema and infiltration with large numbers of eosinophilic leucocytes. No cause was identified for the lesions. Sixteen of the 18 horses discharged from the hospital were alive 3 months to 7 years after surgery and have returned to their previous type of work and level of performance. The remaining 2 horses were subjected to euthanasia because of a recurrence of colic but no autopsy was performed.

“…A formação dos abscessos pode ter sido facilitada pela maior susceptibilidade do cólon menor a complicações pós-operatórias (Stashak, 1982;Edwards, 1997) e as possíveis causas foram a adesão imperfeita do cianoacrilato (Inou, 1962;Matsumoto et al, 1969) ou a falha do cirurgião na execução da técnica operatória (Duarte et al, 2002). Matsumoto et al (1969) também relataram a presença de abscessos na cavidade abdominal de cães, um junto à anastomose com polipropileno e dois na enterorrafia com cianoacrilato, nos quais foram encontrados fragmentos do adesivo tecidual.…”

“…Os materiais de sutura mais empregados no cólon descendente de eqüinos são os fios absorvíveis sintéticos, havendo várias pesquisas com a poliglactina 910 (Beard et al, 1989;Edwards, 1997;Lucas et al, 2001;Duarte et al, 2002), contudo, há poucos estudos com adesivos como o cianoacrilato (Duarte et al, 2002).…”

RESUMOFoi realizado estudo morfométrico do cólon descendente de 15 eqüinos hígidos, nove fêmeas e seis machos, submetidos a enterorrafias aposicionais com fio de poliglactina 910 ou com cianoacrilato. Os animais foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em cinco grupos de três animais cada e sacrificados aos três, sete, 14, 35 e 70 dias de pós-operatório para colheita dos segmentos intestinais operados e posterior processamento histológico de rotina. A análise morfométrica foi feita em microscópio óptico adaptado a um sistema de análise de imagens, onde se quantificou o infiltrado inflamatório, mediante contagens de neutrófilos, eosinófilos, macrófagos, linfócitos e plasmócitos, não sendo observadas diferenças (P>0,05) entre as enterorrafias. Houve diferenças significativas entre os dias de pós-operatório para as contagens de neutrófilos, eosinófilos, macrófagos e linfócitos. Também se mensuraram as espessuras das regiões operadas (cicatriz) e das áreas contíguas não operadas (controle), registrando-se diferenças entre os dias de pós-operatório e as regiões (P≤0,05), mas não entre as enterorrafias. O fio de poliglactina 910 e o cianoacrilato apresentam a mesma eficácia para serem usados em enterorrafias aposicionais do cólon descendente de eqüinos.

“…Small colon obstructions that require surgical intervention are rare, with a prevalence of 3.5–4.2% of horses that had colic surgery in two large studies (Edwards ; Mair and Smith ). They are classified as congenital diseases, simple obstructions, vascular lesions and strangulating obstructions (Edwards ,b). Strangulating lesions can be caused by vascular events, volvulus, hernias, intussusceptions and pedunculated lipomas (Edwards ,b; Schumacher and Mair ).…”

A standing pararectal approach to treat small colon obstruction by a pedunculated lipoma

Summary In an 18‐year‐old Paso Fino mare presented with mild colic of 36 h duration, a luminal obstruction was found on rectal palpation in the most oral part of the rectum, and this appeared to be caused by a tight band on the left side. A standing procedure was used that involved pararectal dissection with long‐handled instruments to the level of the constricting band, guided by a hand in the rectum. A hooked bistoury designed for treating entrapped epiglottis was used to transect the band, which immediately released the obstruction and allowed manual evacuation of the aboral end of the small colon. The band was most likely the pedicle of a pedunculated lipoma that had encircled the oral end of the rectum. The mare made a complete recovery.
