Obstetrical problems adversely affect the reproductive efficiency of bovines. Uterine torsion, the rotation of
uterus on its longitudinal axis is observed frequently in dairy cattle and buffaloes confined for long periods mostly
during parturition and less commonly during gestation. Both maternal and fetal causes are attributed to the etiology
of uterine torsion. The entire length of pregnant uterine horn rotates on its longitudinal axis to the left (anticlockwise)
or right side (clockwise) along with uterine body, cervix and cranial vagina mostly. In severe cases of
uterine torsion, there is vascular compromise to fetus resulting in death of fetus in utero. Since uterine torsion
frequently occurs during parturition, there is twisting of birth canal so delivery of fetus cannot occur without
external aids. Uterine torsion is a diagnostic dilemma for Veterinarians and a difficult obstetric procedure for less
experienced persons. Prognosis and future fertility of dam depends on severity and duration of uterine torsion and
methods of handling.
