This study compared two surgical techniques for treating left displaced abomasum (LDA) in dairy cows. The two techniques were compared in terms of milk production at different time intervals: before surgery; on the day of the surgery; and at 8, 15 and 30 days after surgery. The surgical techniques used in this study were laparoscopy-guided abomasopexy and right flank laparotomy omentopexy. A total of 126 lactating Holstein-Friesian cows with LDA were included, 63 of which were treated with laparoscopy, and 63 with right flank laparotomy. Cows with retained foetal membranes, metritis or natural delivery (dystocia) were included and registered on field sheets for subsequent statistical analysis. Cows with clinical mastitis were excluded. A blood sample (5 mL) was obtained from the medial coccygeal vein and analyzed for total proteins, total bilirubin, total calcium, glucose, b-hydroxybutyrate, sodium, potassium, and chloride. No differences were found between the two groups of operated cows with respect to the number of lactation days, body condition score (BCS), rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate before surgery. No differences were observed between groups regarding the biochemical parameters (P > 0.05) analyzed, except for chloride, which presented lower average values in the omentopexy group (P <0.05). Return of milk yield within the study period did not differ significantly between the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups (P > 0.05), although a significant change in post-surgery time was observed. .

Introduction And Importance: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue, especially in developing countries where its incidence is rising due to factors like overcrowding and immunosuppression. Among extrapulmonary TB forms, abdominal TB is common, while retroperitoneal TB is rare and often challenging to diagnose due to its similarity to other retroperitoneal tumors. Diagnosis typically requires invasive procedures such as laparoscopy or laparotomy.

Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) following clean abdominal surgery in cattle pose significant economic and welfare concerns. Preoperative skin asepsis aims to minimize microbial load over the surgical field before and throughout surgery to minimize its risk. While chlorhexidine (CHX) and povidone-iodine (PVI) are commonly used antiseptics for this purpose, our study introduces the so far unexplored use of octenidine (OCT) in veterinary surgery.

Introduction And Importance: Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen is a rare benign vascular lesion arising from red pulp of spleen with unknown etiopathogenesis. It is a non-neoplastic condition that affects the spleen only; not described in other sites except one case reported in adrenal gland. Epidemiologically it has slight female predilection.

Article Synopsis
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes gastrointestinal polyps and skin pigmentation, leading to complications like abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction from intussusception.
- A case study details a 36-year-old woman with symptoms such as flank pain and melena, who was diagnosed with PJS after imaging and surgery revealed jejuno-jejunal intussusception and multiple polyps.
- PJS stems from mutations in the STK11 gene, and regular screenings are vital for detecting cancer and monitoring polyp growth, with surgical intervention recommended for significant polyps and intussusception cases.
Case report: Complications after using the "blind-stitch" method in a dairy cow with a left displaced abomasum: treatment, outcome, and economic evaluation.

Article Synopsis
- - A 4th lactation dairy cow had complications after an unsuccessful treatment for a left displaced abomasum (LDA) using the "blind-stitch" method, leading to abnormal health signs and inflammation at the incision site.
- - After administering antibiotics and fluids, the cow underwent a laparotomy and omentopexy surgery to resolve adhesion issues, and was monitored before being discharged two weeks later.
- - The cow produced 18,000 kg of milk post-treatment, with total costs for both interventions at 1,207 €, alongside an estimated revenue loss of 4,168 € due to complications, highlighting the need for careful method selection for LDA corrections.
