Many times,snakes suffer from multiple injuries as they are frequently exposed to uneven things while crawling on the ground. Surgery is needed in many of these circumstances to minimize the disfiguring effect. The present case report presents a spectacled cobra (Naja naja) found injured at a construction site with severe abdominal evisceration and its successful surgical management. The surgical procedure involved repositioning of the protruded organs, clotting musculature and skin in appropriate ways, and post-operative supportive care to prevent infection. This case highlights the importance of timely intervention and appropriate techniques in treating traumatic injuries in snakes.
