[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1793057, member: 38590"] It's a fairly straightforward procedure, especially on heifers. Make an elliptical incision around the navel, as you would for a hernia repair. You may have to extend your incision quite a bit to follow the urachus to the bladder. Double ligate the umbilical vessels and ligate the urachus, then you can remove the whole thing. Close up the bladder with an inverting pattern, then close the body wall like you would for any other surgery. [/QUOTE]
