[en] Intussusception is a frequent pathology in young animals of all cattle breeds. This article describes, with the aid of colour photographs, the surgical procedure for end-to-end anastomosis in a calf (or lateral-lateral anastomosis when the spiroid colon is involved). The success of the procedure relies on its speed with regard to the onset of symptoms, as well as post-operative nursing for good recovery.
