The postoperative outcome was assessed by follow\u2010up telephone calls with the owners\/caregivers.

Warmblood horses represented 85% of the horses that underwent surgery. Windsucking\/crib\u2010biting was confirmed in 60% of these surgery cases. Left\u2010to\u2010right entrapment was diagnosed in all horses. Ileal involvement was recorded in 74% of the cases. Uncontrollable intraoperative hemorrhage was encountered in 6% of the surgeries. One hundred seven (74%) horses recovered from surgery, and 65% of those survived to discharge. The rate of survival to discharge of all surgeries was 48%. The median survival of the cases that were discharged exceeded 3193\u2009days. Horses requiring intestinal resection were predisposed to POR, and those undergoing jejunoileostomy were more prone to POR than those undergoing jejunojejunostomy. Horses with POR were less likely to be discharged than those without POR, and those that underwent resection had shorter life expectancy after hospital discharge than those that did not undergo resection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Surgical treatment of EFE was associated with high morbidity and mortality, with recurrence in at least 3% of
