“…The best candidates for surgery are foals in which the affected segment is not too long and both blind ends are accessible, and of sufficient diameter to enable anastomosis . The proximal end of the small colon in the present case could not be visualised and the lumen diameters of the blind end of the large colon and small colon were disparate.…”

“…Atresia coli is a rare condition in foals and generally considered to have a poor prognosis for survival . Early recognition using appropriate diagnostic techniques and early surgical intervention offer an improved chance of survival . When the affected segments are not too long and both blind ends are accessible and of sufficient diameter, an intestinal anastomosis may be indicated.…”

Intestinal atresia is a rare condition in foals, but should be considered as a differential diagnosis in foals that fail to pass meconium. Early recognition and surgical intervention can offer an improved chance of short-term survival in cases where there is adequate intestine to anastomose. An end-to-side anastomosis technique can be used where an end-to-end technique is not practical because of the difference in diameter of the proximal and distal intestinal segments.

“…Generally, the prognosis for foals with intestinal atresia has been reported to be poor and there are only a few reports of successful surgical correction and, of these, there are few with long term followup (Schneider et al 1981;Young et al 1992;Nappert et al 1992;Biasutti et al 2017). The best surgical candidates are those where a diagnosis is made or suspected before the foal becomes systemically compromised and where the affected segment is not too long and both blind ends are accessible, and of sufficient diameter, to enable anastomosis (Prange 2013). A variety of hand sewn and stapled anastomotic techniques have been described and are usually adapted to the specific presentation at surgery.…”

“…While intestinal atresia is a rare condition in foals and generally considered to have a poor prognosis for survival (Nappert et al 1992;Young et al 1992), early recognition using appropriate diagnostic techniques and early surgical intervention offer an improved chance of survival if the affected segments are not too long and both blind ends are accessible and of sufficient diameter to achieve intestinal anastomosis (Prange 2013). The challenges of reaching a presurgical diagnosis in a timely fashion, in a real time scenario, are well highlighted in the case report presented in this edition of Equine Veterinary Education by Skov Hansen et al (2021).…”
