Right Flank Celiotomy, LDA, AED, etc. (gave up on this one) Flashcards
You are presented with an adult dairy cow heavily pregnant with an LDA. If you are equally comfortable with all surgeries to correct the displacement this is the best approach:
- Toggle
- Right paramedian
- Left flank abomasopexy
- Right flank omentopexy
Left flank abomasopexy
What is the most common reason for a right flank celiotomy in dairy cattle?
LDA
In beef cattle the most common indication for a R flank celiotomy is C-section
The most common life threatening complication following surgical correction of an abomasal volvulus in a cow using a right flank approach is:
abomasal atony
For treatment of abomasal displacement in a cow during gestation, what is the procedure of choice?
left paralumbar abomasopexy or omentopexy
right flank is occupied by gravis uterus
What is the preferred location for a right paramedian abomasopexy?
20 cm caudal to xiphoid process and 5-10 cm to the right of ventral midline
T/F: Only a small percentage of cows will redevelop an LDA following rolling and medical treatment
False
75% of cows will redevelop an LDA following rolling and medical treatment
When rolling a cow with LDA, you must start with the cow on its ________ side
right
A dairy cow has a heart rate of 100 beats/minute, has been off feed for 36 hours and is only passing mucus. During palpation, a viscus 10cm in diameter is palpated on the right side at the brim of the pelvic inlet, laboratory findings from a venous blood/gas showed a pH of 7.43. During auscultation and percussion a ping is found and showed on this animal. The ping is covering the right paralumbar fossa and rib 13 to 11. What is the most likely diagnosis?
- Cecal impaction
- Abomasal volvulus
- Intussusception of the small intestine
- Cecal dilation
- Cecal volvulus
Cecal volvulus
Would recommend right flank celiotomy and typhlotomy
