Hérnias inguinal e perineal em cão: relato de caso

Abstract

Hernias are characterized by the displacement of an organ or part of it through an anatomical abnormality in the wall of the cavity in which the organ is attached, which may be due to genetic or acquired origin. Inguinal and perineal hernias correspond to a failure in the muscles, causing the extravasation of parts of the abdominal contents. The treatment for this condition is surgical, through herniorrhaphy. This present work aims to describe a report of the occurrence of inguinal and perineal hernias with recurrence in a dog treated at the UFPB Veterinary Hospital. The diagnosis was possible based on clinical examination associated with ultrasound and x-ray. After surgical treatment of inguinal and perineal herniorrhaphy, associated with orchiectomy, there was a recurrence, with a change in the surgical technique used.
