This study deals with. a modified percutaneous fixation according to Sterne
r and Grymer (Bar suture, ES). Unsuccessful trocarations (just the abdomina
l cave or even the rumen) caused no adverse consequences, Highly dilatated
abomasums and those filled with a lot of liquid increased the problems in r
eposition and fixation very much or even made them impossible. Bad ruminal
filling or mixed ruminal layers additionally caused complications. Based on
the experiences of this study a manual for performing the BS was developed
.
