Summary
A novel transnasal excision technique using obstetric wire successfully treated unilateral cystic nasal concha in a calf. This minimally invasive approach offers a viable alternative for managing this congenital nasal anomaly in young cattle.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Comparative Pathology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Unilateral cystic nasal concha is a rare congenital anomaly affecting young cattle.
- Previous surgical excisions often involved invasive dorsolateral rhinotomy.
- Effective treatment options for this condition are crucial for animal welfare and agricultural productivity.
