This article discusses the surgical management of advanced mammary disease in ruminants, such as small ruminants and cattle. The disease can be caused by mastitis, cancer, or precocious mammary gland development. Surgical removal of the affected glands may be necessary in cases where medical management is not effective. The article provides details on the surgical procedure, including the incision pattern, dissection, and hemostasis techniques. It also mentions alternative procedures and considerations for total mastectomy versus single-quarter or unilateral mastectomy. The article concludes that mastectomy can provide relief from painful conditions and improve the overall health and quality of life for the animals. [Extracted from the article] |
