Surgical management of urovagina and associated infertility in a cow.
Severe urovagina, secondary to a calving injury, was diagnosed as the cause of necrotizing endometritis and infertility in a Holstein cow. Urethral extension surgery resulted in resolution of the urovagina and endometrial recovery. Temporary paresis of the bladder was a postsurgical complication. The cow conceived promptly after insemination, but suffered similar injuries subsequently during calving.
