Plain-English summary
In this study, veterinarians performed surgery on 200 adult cattle to fix a condition called left displaced abomasum, where a part of the stomach moves out of place. They used a modified surgical technique that involved carefully moving the displaced stomach back into its proper position, locating a specific part of the stomach called the pylorus, and securing another part of the stomach called the greater omentum to keep everything in place. The details of this surgical method were thoroughly explained. The outcome of the surgery was not specified, but it indicates that this approach was used successfully in a large number of cattle.
Abstract
A left displaced abomasum was corrected surgically in 200 adult cattle by a modification of the method described by Dirksen. Manual repositioning of the displaced organ, localisation of the pylorus and fixation of the greater omentum are described in detail.
