The incisive bones (premaxillae) and rostral portions of the maxillae of a horse were infected with dermatiaceous fungi causing phaeohyphomycosis. The pre-maxillae were exposed by creating and reflecting labial and palatal mucoperiosteal flaps, and obstetrical wire was used to remove the affected bones. Labial and palatal flaps were apposed in 2 layers, using absorbable sutures. The sutured wound healed without complication. The horse was able to prehend hay and long grass without difficulty, and the owner considered the horse's facial appearance to be nearly normal. This technique may be useful for removal of diseased premaxillae of horses that cannot be treated by more conservative means.
一匹马的切齿骨（前上颌骨）和上颌骨的吻部被引起暗色丝孢霉病的皮肤真菌所感染。通过制作并翻起唇侧和腭侧粘骨膜瓣暴露前上颌骨，并用产科钢丝去除患病骨骼。使用可吸收缝线将唇侧瓣和腭侧瓣分两层对位缝合。缝合的伤口愈合良好，未出现并发症。这匹马能够毫无困难地采食干草和长草，马主认为马的面部外观几乎正常。该技术对于无法通过更保守方法治疗的马的患病前上颌骨的切除可能有用。
