“…Failure to accomplish repair through the midline approach would necessitate a planned repair through a different approach later, such as a standing flank laparoscopy with intracorporeal suture closure of the defect (Brink et al . ). This would be similar to the standing laparoscopic repair of a mesoduodenal rent in a broodmare performed 2 days after correction of small intestinal incarceration through it (Sutter and Hardy ).…”

Summary Small intestinal strangulation was found at necropsy in the left mesometrium of a nonpregnant 10‐year‐old Quarter Horse mare subjected to euthanasia because of colic. The tear had smooth fibrotic edges, consistent with its development in one of two normal pregnancies, the last one at least 1 year preceding admission. This is a rare lesion and this report demonstrates that such a tear can develop during pregnancy without inducing small intestinal strangulation and that pregnancy is not required for strangulation to develop later. Therefore, all attempts should be made to close such tears at the time of initial surgery, if accessible, or later as a planned laparoscopic procedure.

“…Another report evaluated laparoscopic techniques for investigating the equine oviduct [100]. Brink et al [101] reported on the use of laparoscopy for raising the uterus in multiparous mares that were not rebreeding. In 5 mares, the broad ligament was “shortened” by use of laparoscopic suturing.…”

Minimally invasive surgery in the human was first identified in mid 900's. The procedure as is more commonly practiced now was first reported in 1912. There have been many advances and new techniques developed in the past 100 years. Equine laparoscopy, was first reported in the 1970's, and similarly has undergone much transformation in the last 40 years. It is now considered the standard of care in many surgical techniques such as cryptorchidectomy, ovariectomy, nephrosplenic space ablation, standing abdominal exploratory, and many other reproductive surgeries. This manuscript describes the history of minimally invasive surgery, and highlights many of the techniques that are currently performed in equine surgery. Special attention is given to instrumentation, ligating techniques, and the surgical principles of equine minimally invasive surgery.

“…The most common include ovariectomy, cryptorchidectomy, inguinal herniorrhaphy, bladder repair and removal of cystic calculi (Edwards et al 1995;Davis 1997;Hanson and Galuppo 1999;Marien 2001;Rocken et al 2006). Others include adhesiolysis, nephrosplenic space obliteration, umbilical remnant resection, diaphragmatic hernia repair, colopexy and uteropexy (Bleyaert et al 1997;Trostle et al 1998;Fischer 1999;Malone et al 2001;Marien et al 2001;Brink et al 2010). These surgeries are considered to be minimally invasive as surgical time, tissue trauma, incisional complications, incision size and convalescence are reduced with experienced surgeons (Klohnen 2002).…”

Summary The case reported here describes the retrieval of the end of a pair of laparoscopic forceps that became separated from the instrument shaft during a laparoscopic ovariectomy. This case details the procedures used to locate and remove the foreign body from the abdominal cavity. No complications associated with the intra‐abdominal foreign body occurred and the mare was discharged the following day.

Elevating the uterus (uteropexy) of five mares by laparoscopically imbricating the mesometrium

Abstract: Elevating a ventrally-angled uterus to a horizontal position may improve egress of uterine debris, thereby improving fertility.
