The objective of this study was to
evaluate the use of the ultrasound on the determination of the thickness of
adhesion at the abomasopexy point in cows which had undergone one-step
laparoscopic abomasopexy. Ten Holstein cattle with left displaced abomasum
(LDA) were included in the study. Animals were treated with one-step
laparoscopic abomasopexy whilst standing. Postoperative ultrasonographic
examinations were carried out starting immediately after surgery (day 0), and on
days 28, 90 and 120 by using a 5 MHz transducer frequency and also a linear
transducer. The thickness of the adhesion was measured between the abdominal
wall and the abomasum. Ultrasonographic image revealed the area of fixation on
day 0 as a mild distorted subcutaneous tissue. Heterogeneous hypo-echoic
irregular-shaped mass (adhesion) was observed between the abomasum and
abdominal wall on days 28, 90 and 120. Average thickness significantly (p
<0.05) increased from day 0 to day 28, but tended to decrease afterwards. The
average thickness of adhesion at the abomasopexy point was recorded as 20.47,
22.82, 22.34 and 21.92 mm on days on 0, 28, 90 and 120, respectively.

            The
ultrasonographic examination can diagnose and measure the adhesions between the
abomasum and the abdominal wall. During the study period, the adhesion
formation was followed up to the 120^th day, and in this period the
thickness of the adhesion tended to decrease. Long follow-up studies are
thought to be beneficial to determine the difference in adhesion thickness.
