  3. 2. Short- and long-term survival rates after colic surgery : a retrospective study of colic horses operated at UDS between 2019-2022

    University essay from SLU/University Animal Hospital

    Author : Fabian Förander; [2024]
    Keywords : colic; surgery; survival; complications; short-term; long-term;

    Abstract : Colic can be a serious condition in horses, that may require surgery. In this study, survival after colic laparotomy was investigated both in the short-term (until discharge from the hospital) and in the long-term (until 1-year after surgery). Survival of different diagnoses found during surgery was explored. READ MORE

  4. 3. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik
