Description
Summary:The present paper describes the surgical management of acquired prepubic hernia due to prepubic tendon rupture in 6 ovines of both sexes (4 pregnant ewes and 2 rams) aged 2.5±0.89 years and weighing 29.5 ± 1.8 kg. The sheep were presented with the complaint of caudal abdominal swelling and reluctance in lying down. The physiological parameters were within normal range. The sheep were operated under diazepam sedation and lumbosacral epidural anaesthesia using 2% lignocaine hydrochloride. Surgical repair was undertaken through a ventral midline incision and simultaneously caesarean section was performed in pregnant cases. All the animals recovered uneventfully.
