Plain-English summary
This study looked at three horses, two stallions and one gelding, that had unusual types of inguinal hernias, which are bulges in the groin area. The researchers focused on how these cases were different from the more typical inguinal hernias that occur inside the vaginal cavity. While the abstract doesn't provide specific details about symptoms or treatments, it highlights the importance of recognizing these less common hernia types in horses. Overall, the findings help veterinarians understand and differentiate between various hernia conditions in horses.
Abstract
