Surgical Correction of Rectal Prolapse in Buffalo

A 6-year-old non-nondescript buffalo was presented with a history of complete rectal prolapsed for the last 10 h with severe straining, colic, restlessness. Clinical examinations revealed complete prolapsed rectal wall, soiling with faces and patches of necrosed mucous membrane. The animal was operated under caudal epidural anesthesia using lignocaine hydrochloride 2%. Prolapsed mass was replaced back after cleaning. Purse string suture was applied to prevent the recurrence. Postoperative antibiotics and analgesic was administered.
