The objective of the present study was to evaluate a new less-invasive surgical technique for prevention of self-suckling in dairy cows. A pre-clinical (experimental study) was conducted on three goats to detect the possible complications of the technique and the lingual pathological changes. The main clinical study was carried out on 37 dairy cows of mixed breeds, suffered from self-suckling, ... Read more

Heads of 10 native Egyptian goats were used for studying the anatomical features of the frontal and maxillary sinuses, both grossly and by using computed tomographic (CT) imaging. The anatomical features of each sinus, its extent, its divisions, communication between its compartments, its connection with the nasal cavity, and their relation to the adjacent structures and other para-nasal sinuses were ...

A clinical study conducted on 74 animals affected with umbilical abscess, umbilical hernia, pre-sternal bursitis or olecranon bursitis. Minor modifications were made for different treatment methods and outcome of different surgical interventions were recorded. Results revealed that the gauze is better than plastic tube as a drain for abscess, fabricated sterile mesh is better than mattress suture for closure of ... Read more

The uterine tissue of three healthy nonpregnant goats was evaluated experimentally as a graft for closure of a bladder defect. Goats were subjected to ovariectomy, and then one detubularized uterine horn was used as a graft to close a large defect in the ventral aspect of the bladder. Follow up included monthly radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations and evaluations of kidney ... Read more

The study aimed at determination of the cecostomy technique that will preserve the long-term maximal diameter of the created fistula. The subjects of the study were 79 newly born cattle and buffalo calves suffered from atresia coli, recti and ani. The calves were grouped into four groups for evaluation of incisional and herniation cecostomy techniques either on the right or ... Read more

A clinical study performed on 25 calves suffered from urine retention with intact bladder as a result of lodgment of urinary stone at the penile sigmoid flexure. Paracentesis of the bladder were applied to the cases with over distended bladder. All animals were subjected to dorsal penile urethrotomy for removal of the stone and temporary retrograde catheterization of the bladder ... Read more

Blood supply of the teat was studied in six udder samples by radiography (3 samples) and latex (3 samples). Results revealed that the caudal mammary branch of the mammary artery terminates as cranial and caudal papillary arteries to supply the teat. Accordingly, seven goats with irreparable teat laceration were treated by teat excision and anastomosis of its gland cistern to ... Read more

A clinical study was conducted on 40 cattle and buffalo calves suffered from urine retention with intact bladder as a result of urethroliths in the ventral curvature of sigmoid flexure. Animals were randomly categorized into two groups for performing perineal or prescrotal urethrostomy. Duration of surgery, severity of bleeding, post-surgical complications, and body gain were recorded for comparing between the ... Read more

A novel less-invasive hysterocystoplasty technique was evaluated experimentally in goats, via closure of a large defect of the dorsal aspect of the bladder by the uterus. Follow up for six months included radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations, evaluation of kidney function and electrolyte changes, and histological examinations. Microscopically the perimetrium was completely covered with healthy urothelium under which disorganized smooth muscle ... Read more
