Sylvain Nichols et al. Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract. 2018 Mar.

Abstract

A bovine practitioner should master abdominal exploratory surgery (laparotomy). Several gastrointestinal (GI) problems require surgical correction to save the animal's life and to keep it in production. This article reviews the surgical preparation, procedures, and the postoperative care of several conditions affecting the GI tract of cattle.
