title: Female urogenital surgery in cattle.
abstract: Surgical manipulation of the female reproductive tract is part of routine bovine clinical practice. Most indications for urogenital surgery in cattle are for alleviation of dystocia or correction of injuries sustained during parturition. Less frequently, surgery is indicated for ovarian tumor removal, embryo transfer, or spaying of feeding heifers. This article discusses clinical assessment for selection of various surgical procedures of the bovine female genital tract.
