Vybrane onemocneni ascendentniho kolonu s relativni indikaci pro operaci

The aim of the presented clinical study was to find out the incidence, symptomatology, diagnostics and therapy of the right dorsal colon impaction in the patients of the Clinic of Surgery and Orthopaedics. The right dorsal colon impaction was found out in the horses of various breeds, age and at both gender. The disease was found out to be a cause of acute as well as chronic and recurring colic in 7,98% of horses with colic. The intensity of abdominal pain and the degree of general health alteration varied quite considerably. Slight and intermittent abdominal discomfort with good general health condition was observed in some patients, while severe colic pain that did not resolve after analgesics was observed in the others. In some of the patients the health condition was markedly disturbed. The diagnosis was established on the basis of the rectal examination or surgical exploration of the abdominal cavity. The yield of the rectal palpation was limited by the availability of the right dorsal colon, small body dimension of some horses, severe pain and further physiologic of pathologic changes in the abdomen. The diagnosis was established on the basis of the rectal examination in 68,75% of the patients from the selected groupAvailable from STL Prague, CZ / NTK - National Technical LibrarySIGLECZCzech Republi
