Abstract
If performed correctly, the rumenotomy procedure can be a safe and effective way to retrieve ingested foreign bodies and address other problems of the ruminant forestomachs. In the author's practice, rumen surgery has been associated with few postoperative complications. Morbidity and mortality in cases that have had a previous rumenotomy have mostly been associated with complications related to the original presurgical condition or from causes unrelated to the rumen surgery.
