This study describes a novel surgical method to remove urinary bladder-related urachal abscesses in a cow. Traditional methods, such as the midline or paramedian approach in calves and the preinguinal approach, can be challenging in adult cattle, especially for lesions situated near the pelvic cavity. In this case, a 4-year-old cow had a urachal abscess attached to the bladder apex, making it difficult to approach via abdominal wall incision.

This study investigated the diagnostic and surgical management of urachal abscessation involving the urinary bladder in three cattle aged >18 months. While the abdominal floor or paralumbar fossa are typically considered for accessing the urachus and bladder in calves and heifers, the distance is too great to perform the procedure under direct vision in adult cows. Therefore, a novel preinguinal approach was used for access in cows with urachal abscesses after 18 months.

Background: The urachus is an embryonic remnant occurring as a result of the involution of the allantoic duct and the ventral cloaca. This canal becomes progressively obliterated after birth. It uncommonly persists to different degrees after birth.
