Online published on 17 January, 2022. Abstract Ten cattle and buffaloes were presented with advanced pregnancy and requirement of assisted calving. Clinical examination revealed incomplete cervical dilation (60%); uterine inertia (30%) and emphysematous foetus (70%) in these animals. Caesarean section was planned and animals were divided into two groups of five animals each. In Group 1 (n=5), caesarean operation was performed through right ventro lateral oblique incision. The observations such as hemorrhage and improper uterine exteriorization were recorded and operation was completed in 70–90 minutes. In group 2 (n=5), caesarean section was carried out through left ventro lateral oblique incision with minimum hemorrhage adequate relaxation of muscles, proper uterine exteriorization and it took 40–50 minutes for complete operation and recovery was uneventful. The study concluded that left ventro-lateral oblique incision approach was found more suitable for caesarean section in bovine than right ventro-lateral oblique incision.
