Case records of 27 draft horses with laryngeal hemiplegia were reviewed. Twenty-one horses were treated by ventriculectomy with or without prosthetic laryngoplasty, and 17 owners were contacted to determine the results. Fifteen horses improved after surgery and were able to perform to the owners' expectations. Performance improved significantly and hospitalization was shorter after ventriculectomy alone. Results of this study indicate that the clinical signs of exercise intolerance and excessive inspiratory noise associated with left laryngeal hemiplegia in draft horses can be treated successfully by ventriculectomy without prosthetic laryngoplasty.
对27匹患有喉偏瘫的挽马的病例记录进行了回顾。21匹马接受了心室切除术，部分进行了人工喉成形术，部分未进行，并且联系了17位马主以确定手术结果。15匹马术后情况改善，能够达到马主的预期表现。单独进行心室切除术后，表现显著改善且住院时间缩短。本研究结果表明，挽马左喉偏瘫相关的运动不耐受和过度吸气噪音等临床症状，可通过不进行人工喉成形术的心室切除术成功治疗。
