In particular, there is little information available on the clinical value of this surgery in older horses, in non\u2010Thoroughbreds or in sports or pleasure horses; nor on the relationship between the degree of LP abduction achieved and the clinical value of LP.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Objectives<\/jats:italic>\n                    : To evaluate the owner's assessment of the value of LP(and combined ventriculocordectomy) in an older, mixed breed and mixed workload population of horses and to also assess the relationship between the degree of LP abduction present and the clinical value of this surgery.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    : A study (1986\u20131998) of 200 horses of mixed breed and workload, median age 6 years (prospective 136 cases and retrospective 64 cases) undergoing LP and ventriculocordectomy was undertaken. The degree of laryngoplasty abduction achieved and maintained was semi\u2010quantitatively evaluated using a 5\u2010grade system.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : A survey of 198 owners, a median of 19 months after LP surgery, showed that 91% of cases had returned to full work and 3% to reduced work, including 95% of horses with good (\n                    <jats:italic>Grade 2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) laryngoplasty abduction at 6 weeks after surgery, 91% with moderate (\n                    <jats:italic>Grade 3<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) abduction, 88% of cases with minsimal (\n                    <jats:italic>Grade 4<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) abduction and just 25% of cases with total loss of surgical abduction (\n                    <jats:italic>Grade 5<\/jats:italic>\n                    ).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Once back in work, 73% of cases were reported to make no abnormal exercise\u2010related noises (\u2018noises\u2019) at exercise, with reduced \u2018noises\u2019 reported in some of the 21% of horses that still made \u2018noises\u2019. In the other 6% of cases, owners were unsure if \u2018noises\u2019 were present. The absence or presence of \u2018noises\u2019 once back at work correlated significantly with the degree of surgical arytenoid abduction present at 6 weeks after LP. Once back in work, \u2018noises\u2019 were less commonly detected in sports and pleasure horses (absent in 76% of cases) than in racehorses (absent in 60%) of cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Exercise performance following surgery was reported to be markedly increased in 75% of cases, with 10% showing no difference in exercise performance, 3% showing worse performance, and owners unsure of any effect on exercise performance in 13% of cases.
