Mutation: -
Asepsis
General anesthesia
Skin is incise.
Facia
Trans.abd. muscle Knife and scissor.
Peritoneum
Inserted arms into the abdominal cavity.
Apex of the uterine wall pulled.
The uterine horn and fetal membranes are incised longitudinally over
the greater curvature.
Avoiding the cotyledons.
Chains are applied to the limbs of the fetus by exerting traction in the
ventral and caudal direction the fetus is removed.
If necessary the incision in the abdominal wall and uterus should be
enlarge to prevent tearing.
If uterine torsion is present the direction of the torsion accurately
ascertained before the cow is forced down.
The uterine incision is closed with double row of Lembert or Cushing

The hand and the arms are passed over the top of the uterus and
down between rumen and uterus.
Abdominal ballottement-
The upper left flank and the lower right flank are
pushed strongly with the fists.
Application of Detorsion rod
