A Recovered Case of Esophageal Stricture in a Colt by Esophagomyotomy and Esophagotomy

Abstract

A two-year-old colt, manifesting immediate regurgitation of food or water at the mouth and nostrils, was clinically diagnosed as esophageal obstruction with feed impaction by radiography and endoscopy. After esophagomyotomy and brougienage by esophagotomy, the lumen of the strictured site was increased in diameter and impacted feed was propelled into the thoracic esophagus. The case was discharged 10 days after surgery, and no more recurrence was observed.
