However, few reports exist in the veterinary literature describing complications and long\u2010term survival following surgical treatment of colic in these horses.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Objectives<\/jats:italic>\n                    : To determine the prevalence of surgical lesions in miniature horses with acute abdominal disease in terms of clinical signs, surgical management, post operative treatment and complications, as well as short\u2010 and long\u2010term survival.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Medical records of 57 American Miniature Horses undergoing surgical treatment for acute abdominal pain at the Michigan State University Large Animal Veterinary Teaching Hospital 1993\u20132006 were evaluated for clinical information. Owners and trainers were contacted to gain information regarding long\u2010term survival.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : The most common surgical lesion was a faecalith (38\/57 cases) located primarily within the descending colon and most frequently diagnosed in horses age &lt;6 months (19\/38 cases). Short\u2010term survival to hospital discharge for horses recovered from anaesthesia was 98% (55\/56) with the most common post operative complications being diarrhoea and inappetance. Intra\u2010abdominal adhesions were identified in 2\/8 horses requiring a second celiotomy. Long\u2010term follow\u2010up was available for 45 horses and 87% (39\/45) were alive at least 12 months after surgery.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    : As previously reported, faecalith obstruction is a frequent surgical lesion in the miniature horse and is most common in miniature horses age &lt;6 months.
