[Results obtained in the surgical treatment of right-sided abomasal displacement and torsion of the abomasum in cattle (author's transl)].

The results obtained by a modified method of surgical treatment in right-sided abomasal displacement and torsion of the abomasum in cattle are discussed. The usual surgical procedure is extended by pyloromyotomy, the technique of which is described. In addition, postoperative drug therapy is discussed and the importance of examination of the blood at regular intervals is stressed. Sixty-five animals took part in these studies pyloromyotomy being performed in twenty-five cases. The results show that pyloromyotomy has a beneficial effect on the prognosis of surgery. Moreover, the present study showed that the use of fixation of the abomasum by omentopexy is open to doubt in these cases.
