Reports of tracheal injuries in horses are rare compared with those in small animals and humans. Although uncommon, tracheal injuries can be life threatening if they progress or are not treated. Different treatments have been described depending on the severity of the problem. This report describes the successful surgical treatment of three cases of closed tracheal lacerations through an intraluminal surgical approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
