. 1 i m Fig. o26. Fia. 327. ABLATION OF THE MAMMAE. Ablation of the mammee is rather frequently necessary, principally in cases of gangrenous mammitis, of prolonged, continuous suppura- tion, or of grave mammitis, where death would otherwise follow. Provided the anatomical structure of the parts is known (Fig. 237) ablation does not present any insuperable difficulty. In the cow, either two lateral quarters or the entire udder must be removed. The lines of incision through the skin should first of all be traced. One half of the udder may be removed by the following method: First stage. Ellipti

Provided the anatomical structure of the parts is known (Fig. 237) ablation does not present any insuperable difficulty. In the cow, either two lateral quarters or the entire udder must be removed. The lines of incision through the skin should first of all be traced. One half of the udder may be removed by the following method: First stage. Elliptical incision through the skin, including the two teats of one side. The lines of incision should extend backwards sufficiently enable the vessels at the base of the gland to be easily ligatured. Second stage. Dissection and breaking down of the subcutaneous and intermammary connective tissue. The anterior mammary vein must be ligatured. Third stage. Isolation of the mamma from the front backwards, and ligature of the vessels of supply. Extirpation. 3 D 2
