Summary:In this paper, we report a case of a 4-month-old Japanese Black male calf with ruptured umbilical hernia and small intestinal evisceration, treated by emergency surgery. Laparotomy revealed a part of the small intestine incarcerated into a ruptured umbilical hernia with associated bowel ischemia and necrosis. The segment of the small intestine damaged by the incarceration was resected together with the tissues of umbilical hernia, and an end-to-end intestinal anastomosis was created. The abdominal wall was closed using the vest-over-pants technique. The calf recovered without any complication.
