Portable Surgery Tray and Sternal Recumbency

Aids to Uterine Prolapse Replacement

Abstract

Over the past fifteen years I.have learned two things which have greatly reduced my efforts in replacing a uterine prolapse in the bovine species. The first is in positioning the animal in sternal recumbency, with the rear limbs pulled posteriorly, hocks dorsal. This alters the natural angle of the pelvis and in itself will facilitate replacement.
