Two mature stallions that were used for breeding purposes were admitted for evaluation of inguinal hernias. In 1 horse, the hernia was reduced per rectum by gentle traction applied to the intestine. In the other horse, the hernia was reduced by placing the horse in dorsal recumbency and applying external pressure over the scrotum. Both horses were observed for recurrence of the hernia. Seven days later, an elective laparoscopic technique for inguinal herniorrhaphy was performed on each horse, using polypropylene mesh. Complications did not develop, and both horses have successfully completed 2 full breeding seasons. Laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy allows preservation of the testis on the affected side and precludes many complications associated with open surgical techniques used on inguinal rings.
两头用于繁殖目的的成年种马因腹股沟疝接受评估。在一匹马中，通过对肠管轻柔牵拉经直肠将疝还纳。在另一匹马中，通过使马仰卧并在阴囊上施加外部压力将疝还纳。观察两匹马疝的复发情况。7天后，对每匹马采用聚丙烯网片实施了择期腹腔镜腹股沟疝修补术。未发生并发症，两匹马均已成功完成两个完整的繁殖季节。腹腔镜腹股沟疝修补术可保留患侧睾丸，并避免了与腹股沟环开放手术技术相关的许多并发症。
