Kothbauer's pain points in the cow have diagnostic and therapeutic value. They are often reactive to palpation when the organ is irritated. The codes used here are amended according to the IVAS convention from those used by KOTHBAUER (see Figures 3a-3c). Some points differ in coding and location from those used in the ROGERS transposition system.
