| What measures would you take to prevent recurrence of omental prolapse? | Non-surgically: the horse is placed on a sloping plank bridge or similar, with the hind quarters upwards and the front quarters downwards for some days.
Surgically: the edges of the incised vaginal tunic at the site of the scrotal wound are grasped using haemostatic forceps. Then, the vaginal tunic is freed from the surrounding skin and dartos, crushed as proximal as possible, ligated and transected distally. |
