DUQUE B, Diego L; CORAL D, Elizabeth e BRAN, José. Surgical management of small intestine infarction by stapled jejunocecostomy in a horse. Rev Colom Cienc Pecua [online]. 2007, vol.20, n.4, pp.490-497. ISSN 0120-0690.
A 7- years-old criollo colombiano stallion was referred to the Large Animal Hospital Centro de Veterinaria y Zootecnia CES (Envigado, Colombia) because of an acute abdominal syndrome that had persisted for seven hours despite medical treatment. On physical examination the stallion was depressed, dehydrated (6%), borborygmi were diminished, rectal temperature was 37.1 °C, hearth and respiration rates were 40 beats/min and 28 breaths/min, respectively. On rectal examination and abdominal ultrasonography small intestine was distended. Peritoneal fluid analysis was altered. Signs of pain were nonresponsive to analgesics. The diagnosis by exploratory laparotomy was infarction of small intestine (seven meters of the jejunum and proximal portion of the ileum) of unknown etiology. A jejunocecostomy was done using a GIA 80 surgical stapler (United Surgical). Postsurgical recuperation was successful. This case becomes the first report of a jejunocecostomy in a horse in Colombia
