Use of a Buhner Needle to Place Minchev Sutures for Vaginal/Cervical Prolapse Retention

Abstract

The use of the Minchev technique for prolapse retention is a simple, yet effective means of preventing the reoccurrence of vaginal/cervical prolapses in the bovine species. At least two methods have been proposed to place the retention sutures, but I have used the Modified Buhner needle as a yet-simpler means of placing these button sutures.
