Abstract

A calf was presented with history of recurrent umbilical hernia and earlier operated twice using herniorrhaphy technique. Clinical examination revealed a reducible hernia without adhesions and hernial ring diameter of 8 cm in length and 6 cm in width. The animal was sedated using Xylazine and local anaesthesia was achieved using 2% Lignocaine. Surgical exploration revealed presence of omentum and abomasum at the hernial site and they were reduced back into abdominal cavity. The abdominal wall defect was repaired using cost-effective and easily available sterilized mosquito mesh as a hernioplasty material. Six months follow-up revealed complete recovery of animal without any complications.
