Abdominal wall injuries in goats, secondary to trauma, are usually large, requiring use of techniques that require prosthetic materials for reconstruction of the region, due to tissue insufficiency. This article reports a case of eventration of the rumen and intestines in the lateroventral region of the left abdomen of a four-month-old goat as a result of being hit by a motorcycle within 48 hours, followed up until its three years of age. The increase in volume was reducible to a flaccid consistency and the auscultation was identified as sounds of ruminal movements and borburigmas. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and despite the absence of injuries to the abdominal organs, there was a large laceration of the left flank abdominal muscles with the presence of a thin muscle layer at the ends of the abdominal cavity with areas of necrosis. In order to restore the abdominal wall, a polypropylene mesh (15 x 15 cm) was sutured with polyglactin number 1 thread and single stitches in the few remaining healthy muscles, followed by suture of the subcutaneous tissue and skin. The animal showed a good postoperative response and was discharged after fifteen days. Thirty months after the procedure, the goat remained nulliparous and with 50 kg more than the day of care, and without any problems in the abdominal region, which remained without any evidence of heniation. Despite the extensive laceration of the abdominal muscles, the use of polypropylene mesh proved to be effective in the treatment of abdominal eventration in young goats.Downloads
