frolapse of the uterus of cows is r reported to occur in 0.5 percent of assisted calvings and 0.3 percent of all parturitions (1). A reprolapse following replacement generally does not occur (2), however most experienced practitioners have treated cows which reprolapsed shortly following replacement of the uterus, with a third prolapse occurring rarely. This is a frustrating, exhausting, and expensive problem, and can be life-threatening to the cow. Prevention of reprolapse is difficult, and the technique of suturing the vulva has been described as a "placebo for the farmer" (2). A surgical technique which appears to be effective for helping to prevent repetition of complete uterine prolapse is purse-string suture of the cervix, a procedure which has not been described in the veterinary literature.
