Treatment of Porcine umbilical hernia with adhesive Tape

Umbilical hernia is mostly caused by congenital enlargement of umbilical foramen and poor development of closed sex. Umbilical hernia can occur when sows give birth incorrectly and the abdomen is hit. When the intestines enter the umbilical hole to form a hernia, surgery must be performed. At present, the pig industry generally uses the method of operation after weaning, which is more harmful to pigs and difficult to operate. Now we introduce a simple and practical method of adhesive tape fixation that can be operated by ordinary employees. This method is suitable for castration 3-5 days after delivery. First, the testes are castrated, and then the exposed intestines are stuffed back to the abdominal cavity with the handle of a scalpel. Finally, prepare two pieces of medical adhesive tape with a width of 3 cm around the thigh to the buttocks. Finally, use a piece of adhesive tape to stick around the abdomen near the thigh to the back. Pay attention to sticking and fastening the eyes so as not to let the intestines leak back. Generally, the navel will close and grow well in about 10 days.
