Abstract
Occasionally, the bovine practitioner is presented situations requiring application of techniques regarding wound repair and healing. Less commonly encountered in bovine practice than equine practice for example, principles and management of traumatic wound healing should be regarded as similar. Frequently, bovine practitioners need to apply knowledge of healing principles when wounds are surgically induced during horn and mass removal. Consideration of surgical approach, tension-relieving techniques, and dermal transposition flaps (see the ocular surgery article by Schulz in this issue) can be applied effectively in bovine practice.
