“…Although NSE appears to have low mortality, the long‐term survival of horses with NSE has neither been well defined, nor is it known how clinical factors influence time to death. With the potential for recurrence, surgical techniques to close the nephrosplenic space have been described . However, the success of closure of the nephrosplenic space in reducing recurrence has not been compared to a reference cohort of horses with NSE that have not had closure of the nephrosplenic space.…”

Background Nephrosplenic space closure is commonly used to reduce relapse of nephrosplenic space entrapment in cases of left dorsal displacement of the left colon (LDDLC). Nevertheless, studies documenting the effectiveness of this surgery are sparse in the literature. The aim of this study was to analyse clinical data of horses presented for LDDLC and evaluate the effect of nephrosplenic space closure on the incidence of colic recurrence.Methods Medical records of 156 horses diagnosed with LDDLC at the Equine Clinic of the University of Liège between 2004 and 2016 were retrieved for analysis. Extracted data included horse breed, sex, age and weight, initial treatment, and if a subsequent preventive surgical closure of the nephrosplenic space was carried out or not. Follow-up information was obtained by telephone interview. Statistical analyses were performed using a chisquared test with significance set at P<0.05. Results Follow-up data were available for 65 per cent of horses. The mean follow-up was 35 months. There was a significant decrease in the total incidence of colic after closure surgery compared with non-operated horses. No horse was diagnosed with LDDLC after closure of the nephrosplenic space. Conclusion Closure of the nephrosplenic space significantly decreases recurrent colic in horses compared with non-operated horses.

Prosthetic Mesh for Obliteration of the Nephrosplenic Space in Horses: 26 Clinical Cases

Abstract: Mesh obliteration of the nephrosplenic space is an effective alternative to suture closure for preventing nephrosplenic entrapment of the large colon in horses. No complications related to mesh obliteration were reported in our study population.
