[Laparoscopic reposition and fixation of the left displaced abomasum in cattle].
This article explains a minimally invasive technique for surgical correction of the left displaced abomasum in cattle. Endoscopic photographs show how the abomasum will be deflated, replaced and percutaneously fixed. Laparoscopy makes it possible to fix the fundus of the abomasum in all clinical conditions, independent of size, gas filling and fluid in abomasum and rumen. Especially cases with extremely dilated abomasum and cases with small quantity of gas within the abomasum are no problem in percutaneous abomasopexy. Fixation of the pyloric part of the abomasum or other abdominal structures are avoided. Adhesions of the abomasum to the rumen or the left body wall and other pathologic conditions can be seen.
