From 1995 to 1997 11 racehorses, one Hanoverian and one Pony were presented to the clinic with a sudden appearing, very loudly gurgling expiratory respiratory noise. Considering the preliminary report and the clinical and endoscopical findings, as exercise induced dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP) was found to be the cause of the respiratory noise. The 13 horses were treated in general anaesthesia by transendoscopic coagulation of the caudal margin of the soft palate with a Neodym-YAG-Laser. This surgical intervention had to be repeated on four horses with unchanged signs. Eight of 13 horses (62%) did not show any respiratory noises after the operation. These horses were again successfully raced and ridden. Only an improvement was observed in two horses (15%), while in three patients (23%) the respiratory noise was unchanged after surgery. The laser chirurgic approach to the exercise induced DDSP offers, compared to previous therapies important advantages, like shorter recoveries, combined with similar success rates.
1995年至1997年期间，11匹赛马、1匹汉诺威马和1匹小马被送至诊所，它们突然出现非常响亮的咕噜声呼气性呼吸杂音。根据初步报告以及临床和内镜检查结果，发现运动诱发的软腭背侧移位（DDSP）是呼吸杂音的原因。对这13匹马在全身麻醉下通过用钕钇铝石榴石激光经内镜凝固软腭后缘进行治疗。有4匹马症状未改善，这种手术干预不得不重复进行。13匹马中有8匹（62%）术后未出现任何呼吸杂音。这些马再次成功参赛和骑行。仅2匹马（15%）症状有所改善，而3例患者（23%）术后呼吸杂音未改变。与先前的治疗方法相比，激光手术治疗运动诱发的DDSP具有重要优势，如恢复时间更短，成功率相似。
