Transnasal, axial division of the aryepiglottic fold was performed to correct entrapment of the epiglottis in 20 sedated, standing horses, using a hooked bistoury and topical anesthesia. Presenting complaints included decreased exercise tolerance or loss of racing performance, abnormal respiratory noise, and coughing. The surgical procedure was technically easy to perform with a minimum of instrumentation. The horses were rested an average of 18 days before race training or riding was resumed. Evaluation of racing records or contact with owners indicated that most affected horses competed successfully after transnasal surgical correction of the entrapment.
对20匹镇静站立的马进行经鼻会厌襞轴向切开术，以纠正会厌嵌顿，使用钩状手术刀和局部麻醉。主要症状包括运动耐力下降或比赛成绩丧失、异常呼吸噪音和咳嗽。该手术操作技术上易于实施，所需器械最少。马匹在恢复比赛训练或骑行前平均休息18天。对比赛记录的评估或与马主的联系表明，大多数受影响的马在经鼻手术纠正嵌顿后成功参赛。
