Abstract

The objective of this paper is to report the case of a canine diagnosed with incisional hernia at a previously incised site for ovariohysterectomy. After 30 days of castration, the animal was treated with an increase in volume in the umbilical region of the abdomen and serosanguinolent secretion through the surgical stitches. The patient was referred for surgical correction, where suture was observed with fishing line and indications of technical error. After reviving the wound borders, removing the fibrous tissue and washing the site, the abdominal cavity was closed, following the basic principles of celiorraphy.
