The main goal of the clinical study was to analyse the importance of diagnostic and therapeutic steps in a group of 62 horses with left dorsal displacement of the large colon. 61 patients underwent the therapy; one horse was destroyed. In 59 cases, the diagnosis was determined by the rectal exploration. In 8 of 13 horses, the spontaneous correction of the large colon position was reached.
