Gastrointestinal diseases play an important role in the systemic alteration in horses. Several studies have been performed in order to better understand these processes. For these studies, to place a cannula inside the animal is a requirement. This study aimed to describe the surgical technique to place a cecal cannula in horses and the major postoperative changes. Nine adults and mixed breed horses were used in this study. The surgical procedure was performed in two steps. Primarily, through an incision in the right costal region, the dorsal segment of the cecum was sutured against the abdominal wall. In the second procedure, after the incision in the segment of the cecum, a canula was placed in the cecal lumen and sutured against the abdominal wall. This technique was viable when performed in two separated surgical procedures. The latex cannulas were well accepted by the horses, samples from the cecum could be collected throughout a period from 120 to 160 days, being considered appropriated for experimental procedures.KEYWORDS: Cecostomy, cecum, horses, intestinal cannulation.
