The material of the study consisted of 100 calves (28.57%) of different breeds, ages and genders, with umbilical lesions from 350 calves brought to the surgery clinic between 2017 and 2020 due to various complaints. 64 (64%) of the calves with umbilical lesions were male and 36 (36%) were female. Umbilical lesions are evaluated according to breeds Simmental breed calves 55 (55%), Brown-Swiss 38 (38%), Holstein 2 (2%), Charolaise 2 (2%), Domestic 2 (2%) and Angus 1 (1%).

In omphalitis (omphalophlebitis, omphaloarteritis) cases, umbilical cord thickening was measured as 0.5-3 cm in 64 cases and 4 cm in 3 cases. Open herniorrhaphy was performed in 19 cases with an average diameter of 2.8 cm, and hernioplasty in 6 cases with a diameter of 8.25 cm.
