Abstract
A two-month-old female Thoroughbred foal was referred to the Equine Hospital, Jeju Stud Fm, Korea Racing Association. The foal was presented with opening of the abdominal ring by congenital predisposition. In physical examination, the foal revealed a mild heating, fluctuant swelling at umbilicus. The umbilical hernia was diagnosed, and then modified umbilical herniorraphy was performed and resulted in successful treatment. We conclude this method is of great value within the six-month-old foal with hernial ring size less than 10 cm.
