The most common reasons for death\/euthanasia in the post operative period after a single laparotomy were persistent pain\/colic, post operative ileus and grass sickness. Horses with lesions involving the small intestine and caecum had lower survival rates (75.2 and 66.7%, respectively) than those with large colon or small colon lesions (89.9 and 100%, respectively). The survival rate for ischaemic\/strangulating lesions (68.9%) was lower than for simple obstructions (90.5%).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Short\u2010term survival of horses undergoing exploratory laparotomy for acute colic is dependent on many factors, including the nature of the underlying disease, cardiovascular status and post operative complications.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Potential relevance<\/jats:italic>\n                    : These retrospective studies may be used as a basis for prospective studies assessing treatments that could ultimately improve survival and decrease complication rates.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2746\/0425164054529409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,12]],"date-time":"2007-04-12T19:03:27Z","timestamp":1176404607000},"page":"296-302","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":217,"title":["Survival and complication rates in 300 horses undergoing surgical treatment of colic.
