Abstract: 
Segmental posthetomy (sheath ablation) by removing an extensive circumferential segment of the internal preputial fold and extended proximally to the preputial orifice with subsequent end to end anastomosis of the distal and proximal skin edges was satisfactory as a salvage operation. The excised segment was loaded with heaviest melanotic nodules. The horse regained uneventful normality.
