Abstract

Perineal hernia is a type of hernia that affects more canines, especially non-castrated animals. Its etiology is still uncertain, but it is related to a weakening of the pelvic diaphragm muscles, resulting in the protrusion of organs or tissues to the perineal region. It is characterized by the presence of dyskinesia, constipation and swelling in the perineal region. The diagnosis is basically clinical, through digital rectal examination and radiographic or ultrasound exams, and the treatment is through surgical correction. Currently, there are several techniques described for the correction of perineal hernias, however those that use muscle transpositions are more efficient. The aim of this study is to report a case of perineal hernia associated with a right rectal diverticulum in a canine. The defect was corrected through perineal herniorrhaphy with transposition of the internal obturator muscle associated with plication of the muscular and serous rectal layers for the correction of the diverticulum.
