COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF USING ENDOPROSTHETIC MESH IN THE TREATMENT OF UMBILICAL HERNIA IN CALVES
Keywords:
umbilical hernia, mesh implant, cefazolin, ketoprofen, herniorrhaphy, calf.Abstract
This study investigates effective surgical approaches for treating
umbilical hernia in calves raised in household conditions across the Republic of
Karakalpakstan. Eight male calves participated in the experiment. Traditional open
herniorrhaphy and mesh-reinforced hernioplasty techniques were applied.
Postoperative outcomes, complication rates, and healing times were evaluated.
Findings showed that mesh implantation demonstrated higher clinical effectiveness
and safety in managing umbilical hernias in calves.
