Peer\u2010reviewed scientific articles in the English language on equine colic surgery in live client\u2010owned equids between 1992 and 2022 were included. The resulting references were independently and blindly screened by two investigators. Relevant data on the study method, sample size, intestinal tract involvement and postoperative complications were extracted and charted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 5850 articles potentially eligible, 272 met the final inclusion criteria. The most frequent types of study design were retrospective cohort studies (121\/272) and retrospective case series (82\/272). Median sample size was 53 animals, range 3\u2013896. Seventy\u2010nine of 272 (29%) studies reported diseases of the small intestine, 65 of 272 (24%) of the large intestine and 128 of 272 (47%) reported both. Seventy\u2010two studies (26.4%) focused on single complications. No study explicitly defined the term complication or cited a classification of complications. One study reported the definitions of \u2018sequela\u2019, \u2018progression\u2019 or \u2018recurrence\u2019 of lesions. Eighty\u2010one postoperative complications were reported in two\u2010time frames defined as short\u2010 and long\u2010term. The definitions of most complications and long\u2010term follow\u2010ups were highly variable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main limitation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Non\u2010English language studies or conference proceedings were excluded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was a substantial lack of classifications of postoperative complications.
