title: [Surgical treatment of rectal prolapse in a 1-year-old mare resecting only the mucous membrane].

The remaining vital layers of the corresponding intestinal section were saved. The advantage of a special tissue saving operating technique in the rectal area is seen in avoiding postoperative complications.
