Surgery of umbilical cord remnants in calves
2006
Steiner, A., Vetsuisse, Faculty of Bern (Switzerland)
Umbilical remnants in calves may be diagnosed by thorough clinical examination of the umbilicus and the general status. Ultrasonography, using a 5 MHz probe, represents the most accurate imaging technique for preoperative differentiation of the size and delineation of intraabdominal umbilical remnants. Therapy of such conditions consists of laparotomy and excision of the affected structures in toto under local or general anaesthesia with the animal in dorsal recumbency. Prognosis is generally good except for cases with spread of infection into other organs and infections of the umbilical arteries that extend to far towards the abdominal aorta.
