    A modified Utrecht technique for bovine fetotomy simplifies fetal explusion. This improved method details steps for both cranial and caudal presentations, enhancing surgical outcomes in veterinary obstetrics.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Large Animal Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Complete bovine fetotomy is a surgical procedure to remove a dead fetus.
    • The Utrecht technique is a recognized method for bovine fetotomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified Utrecht technique for complete bovine fetotomy.
    • To provide detailed procedural steps for cranial and caudal fetal presentations.

    Main Methods:

    • The modified technique involves specific sequential steps for cranial presentation: decapitation, forelimb removal, evisceration, and pelvic section.
    • For caudal presentation, the steps include hindlimb removal, evisceration, thoracic detruncation, forelimb removal, and final dissection.

    Main Results:

    • The described modifications offer a structured approach to bovine fetotomy.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The technique facilitates complete removal of the fetus in both cranial and caudal presentations.

    • Conclusions:

    • The modified Utrecht technique provides a standardized and potentially more efficient method for bovine fetotomy.
    • This approach aids veterinary surgeons in managing complex fetal presentations during calving.
