Sample Population: 16 forelimbs obtained from 8 mature horses.
Procedure: Tenotomy and subsequent tenorrhaphy was performed in anesthetized horses.
Article Synopsis
- A 4-year-old Quarter Horse mare faced recurrent esophageal obstructions due to a proliferative mass, identified as granulation tissue after biopsy.
- The mass was successfully removed using a neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser during a transendoscopic procedure.
- Two weeks later, there were no signs of the mass, and six months post-treatment, the horse showed no recurrence, highlighting the effectiveness of laser excision over traditional surgical methods.
