The urachus was the most commonly affected structure being patent and\/or infected in 84.1% of cases. Concurrent diseases were present in 60.6% of foals prior to surgery, with diarrhoea and septic arthritis being most common. The presence of preoperative septic arthritis and\/or physitis were significantly associated with nonsurvival (OR 33; 95% confidence interval 1.1\u2013985.2; P = 0.04). Longer anaesthesia time (OR 1.4; 95% confidence interval 1.1\u20131.7; P = 0.02) and failure of passive transfer of immunoglobulins (OR 5.9; 95% confidence interval 1.2\u201329.04; P = 0.03) were associated with increased odds for post\u2010operative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It is not known if medical treatment alone would have been successful in foals that did not receive preoperative medical treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall survival is high after surgical excision of umbilical remnants.
