During a 3-year period 21 horses were surgically treated because of large abdominal wall defects. In each case the defect was bridged with a polypropylene mesh, which was placed on the outside of the hernial ring. This was in contrast with the technique for mesh herniorrhaphy generally described in human and veterinary literature, in which the mesh is always implanted on the inside of the hernial ring. One horse was destroyed on the first postoperative day because of postanaesthetic myelomalacia. Surgical repair as described was successful in 18 patients. Recurrence of herniation occurred in two horses. On re-herniorrhaphy a second and larger mesh was successfully implanted.
在3年的时间里，21匹马因腹壁大缺损接受了手术治疗。在每一例中，缺损均用聚丙烯网片修补，网片置于疝环外侧。这与人类和兽医文献中普遍描述的网片疝修补术技术相反，在该技术中，网片总是植入疝环内侧。一匹马在术后第一天因麻醉后脊髓软化而死亡。所描述的手术修复在18例患者中成功。两匹马出现疝复发。再次进行疝修补术时，成功植入了第二个更大的网片。
