Abstract:
Protrusion or displacement of an organ, part of an organ, or tissue outside the abdominal cavity through an abnormal opening in the abdominal wall which can be noted from the outside of an animal’s body and can be detected with an external examination near the umbilicus is termed as Umbilical hernia. There are different types of hernia in small and large animals that are classified according to their anatomical locations into umbilical, inguinal, scrotal, femoral, perineal, and ventral (or abdominal) hernias. The present case report describes successful surgical management of umbilical hernia in a calf by herniorrhaphy.
