Surgical Repair of Congenital Cleft Palate in Horses: Eight Cases (1979-1997)
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of a transhyoid pharyngotomy approach resulted in a lower morbidity rate in the surgical repair of cleft palatal defects when compared with the use of a mandibular symphysiotomy approach. Successful healing was achieved completely in four horses, partially in three horses, and not at all in one horse following one or more surgical repairs.
