Article Synopsis
- The study described a laparoscopic method for closing the epiploic foramen (EF) in healthy adult horses, focusing on technique and outcomes.
- During the procedure on 6 horses, the EF was successfully closed in all cases, with a median surgical time of 40.5 minutes and no significant complications noted post-surgery.
- At a follow-up laparoscopy 4 weeks later, five horses had complete closure, while one showed partial closure, indicating the procedure's effectiveness.
Evaluation of gastric pressures as an indirect method for measurement of intraabdominal pressures in the horse.

February 2011
Objective: To develop an indirect method for measurement of intraabdominal pressures in the standing horse using measurement of gastric pressures as a less invasive technique, and to compare this method with direct intraabdominal pressures obtained from the peritoneal cavity.
Design: Prospective, experimental study.
Setting: University-based equine research facility.
