ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of suturing the abomasum of a ruminant animal. The method includes inserting one end of a cannula through the belly of the animal and into the lumen of the abomasum. One end of a suture and toggle attached thereto is inserted through a bore of the cannula and into the lumen by travel of a trocar through the bore behind the toggle. The extent of the travel of the cannula into the lumen is limited by providing an outer end of the cannula with a flange that engages the hide of the animal and the travel of the trocar through the bore of the cannula is limited by providing the trocar with a handle that abuts against the flange of the cannula.
