“…Once the abomasum is cannulated, it is possible to obtain abomasal content, evaluate the abomasal flow and function, in addition to infusing nutrients and drugs when high concentrations are intended to be reached within the organ [ 5 ]. Other clinical applications that can be tested are: biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of abomasal lymphosarcoma, therapy of perforating abomasal ulcers and recurrent abomasal impaction.The lateral approach from the right flank with the establishment of access portals were efficient, favoring the intracavitary handling [ 17 ]. Difficulties in manipulating the laparoscope and instruments were reported [ 5 ], but with an adequate planning for surgical accesses, a good visualization of the internal structures and their easy manipulation are achieved [ 9 ].…”

Background Due to the complexity of ruminant digestion, cannulation of organs of the digestive tract has been carried out in order to advance the understanding of digestive physiology, nutrient degradability, gastrointestinal diseases and biotechnological research. The abomasal cannulation is interesting for nutritional studies, especially in suckling calves, to obtain fluid and abomasal content, evaluation of abomasal flow and function, and infusion of nutrients and drugs when it is intended to reach high concentrations in the organ. Conventionally, access and cannulation of digestive organs of ruminants has been performed by laparotomy, a method often criticized and classified as cruel by some sectors related to ethics and animal welfare. The aim of this present study is to describe and standardize a minimally invasive by laparoscopy assisted abomasal cannulation in bovine fetuses (cadavers), which had been previously slaughtered by accident and would be discarded in local slaughterhouses. Results The abomasal cannulation technique was feasible, simple and did not present major difficulties. The surgical time for cannulation of the abomasum, from the insertion of the trocars to the completion of the technique with fixation of the organ to the abdominal wall, ranged from 9 to 27 min, with an average of 15.5 ± 6.62 min. Conclusions The Laproscopic assisted abomasal cannulation in bovine fetuses was feasible and safe with minimal tissue injury to the abdominal wall and with short surgical time. More studies in the clinical routine related to minimally invasive abomasal content collection, abomasopexy and abomasotomy are required in order to demonstrate its impact and importance in bovine clinic.

“…2022 ring or swollen area (Baird, 2016;Beasley, 2017). During laparoscopy, incisions can be made in the ventral region of the abdomen or the right paralumbar fossa (Robert et al, 2016;Monteiro et al, 2022). umbilical celiotomy, to ensure better access to the urachus and umbilical vessels, the incision can be performed in an ethylene line in the mid-line, supra-umbilical, and infra-umbilical regions.…”

“…Another alternative is to make an elliptical incision in the peri-umbilical region, just around the umbilical stump (Figure 6A), and over the hernia and tumor/umbilical abscess to ensure ease of access to the umbilical vessels and urachus, and the hernia ring or swollen area (Baird, 2016;Beasley, 2017). During laparoscopy, incisions can be made in the ventral region of the abdomen or the right paralumbar fossa (Robert et al, 2016;Monteiro et al, 2022). Incisions can be made for both celiotomy and laparoscopy by maintaining the patient in a supine position and keeping the hind limbs extended and abducted to clearly expose the umbilical region (Baird, 2016;Beasley, 2017).…”

“…The opening can be extended using Mayo scissors to ensure better visualization and access to the structures that can be resected individually or in blocks (Figure 6C) (Baird, 2016). Resection of the pathologically affected structures must be carefully performed, with attention paid to hemostasis and avoiding contamination (Figure 6B) with the use of ligatures or hemostatic clamps (Figure 6C) (Marchionatti et al, 2016;Baird, 2016;Monteiro et al, 2022).…”

Clinical and surgical approach to umbilical disorders in calves - literature review

Umbilical disorders, which frequently occur in calves, are among the major causes of economic losses in herds. Antibiotic therapy alone is effective for some infectious cases, but surgical intervention is often indicated. This review aims to provide an overview of the clinical and surgical perspectives of the principal umbilical disorders in calves. The umbilicus may be affected by infectious or non-infectious conditions, including hernia, persistent urachus, omphalitis, urachitis, omphalophlebitis, and omphaloarteritis. Infectious varieties can culminate in sepsis and sometimes even involve other organs. Under these conditions, the chief complaint of calves tends to be apathy and visible swelling in the umbilical region. When surgery is indicated, the veterinary surgeon needs to have a thorough understanding of umbilical disorders, which coupled with careful clinical examination, will enable the formulation of an effective surgical plan. Surgical principles linked to pre-, trans-, and post-operative care must be considered, as recovery depends upon the surgery performed, pathological factors, and the patient's individual response. Some of the most common surgeries performed include herniorrhaphy, urachus, and umbilical vein resection. Several technological resources, such as ultrasonography and laparoscopy, are new tools that can help improve the performance of these procedures.
