Description

Curved bistoury and/or monopolar electrosurgical cutting were used to correct epiglottic entrapment in four horses. In one horse, monopolar electrosurgical cutting of the aryepiglottic fold was performed, but the procedure was inadequate and reentrapment occured. Then, transnasal axial division by curved bistoury of the aryepiglottic fold was performed to correct entrapment ofthe epiglottis under general anesthesia. In other horses, the latter technique was performed initially. As a result, this technique was proved to be more effective from the view point of the post-operation course.
