In this Simini Equine Surgery Podcast episode, we explore three practice-changing studies from the July 2025 issue of Veterinary Surgery. These investigations revisit long-standing protocols around anesthesia recovery, antibiotic use, and colic prevention—each bringing new clarity to what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters.
We cover:
✅ Lindqvist et al. — A prospective crossover study evaluating an adjustable ceiling during anesthesia recovery in horses. Recovery quality scores improved dramatically, but with modest physiologic stress trade-offs.
✅ Sjöberg et al. — A large retrospective review of over 200 hospital-managed suture castrations in stallions. The study found no statistical benefit from surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP)—supporting reduced antibiotic use in clean, aseptic procedures.
✅ Warren et al. — A retrospective cohort study in 188 Thoroughbred broodmares showing that ventral midline cecopexy significantly reduced both general colic and large colon volvulus (LCV) recurrence—without compromising breeding outcomes.
Whether you’re focused on reducing complications, refining post-op care, or strengthening antimicrobial stewardship, this episode brings data-driven recommendations to equine soft tissue protocols.
🎓 Journal Articles Discussed:
- Lindqvist et al. — Effect of an adjustable ceiling to prevent premature rising attempts after general anesthesia in healthy ponies and horses: A pilot study
- Sjöberg et al. — Influence of antimicrobial prophylaxis in horses undergoing sutured castrations
- Warren et al. — Effect of a ventral midline colopexy on large colon volvulus recurrence and days to next live foal in Thoroughbred broodmares
