In 16 male dogs who suffered from perineal hernia, polypropylene mesh was used to close a defect in the pelvic diaphragm. Pelvic bone was drilled on the pelvic floor and mesh was sutured through holes by polypropylene suture. Strong pelvic diaphragm, good long-term results and time-sparing by this technique was achieved. Suture sinuses were developed in two dogs one month postoperatively. Objectives of this study were to describe a new alternative technique of perineal herniorraphy and postoperative possible complications. Weakness of internal obturator muscle flap is complication which can be observed during transposition of internal obturator muscle flap. This technique can be used when internal obturator muscle flap is weak like the operation of the first choice.

SummaryObjective: To describe a novel technique utilizing the flexor digitorum lateralis tendon to repair rupture of the common calcaneal tendon with a gap defect.Clinical report: An eight-month-old male Domestic Shorthair cat with bilateral common calcaneal tendon rupture secondary to severe thermal injury underwent bilateral common calcaneal tendon repair performed in two stages. The first stage involved using the flexor digitorum lateralis tendon to reconstruct the common calcaneal tendon and a semitendinosus muscle flap for improved blood supply. A calcaneotibial screw was used for immobilization of the tarsocrural joint. The second surgery involved free skin grafting for complete wound closure. Twelve weeks after the calcaneotibial screws were placed, the calcaneotibial screws were removed and fibreglass splints were applied. The splints were removed after two weeks.Results: Full recovery took five months between the surgery and the final follow-up examination. The cat had a functional gait with no lameness and was able to jump to a height of approximately 75 cm.Clinical significance: Use of the flexor digitorum lateralis tendon may be considered for repair of a common calcaneal tendon rupture when a gap exists and traditional tendon lengthening techniques are not feasible.

ABSTRACT Perineal hernia refers to the failure of the muscular pelvic diaphragm to support the rectal wall, resulting in herniation of pelvic and, occasionally, abdominal viscera into the subcutaneous perineal region. The proposed causes of pelvic diaphragm weakness include tenesmus associated with chronic prostatic disease or constipation, myopathy, rectal abnormalities, and gonadal hormonal imbalances. The most common presentation of perineal hernia in dogs is a unilateral or bilateral nonpainful swelling of the perineum. Clinical signs do occur, but not always. Clinical signs may include constipation, obstipation, dyschezia, tenesmus, rectal prolapse, stranguria, or anuria. The definitive diagnosis of perineal hernia is based on clinical signs and findings of weak pelvic diaphragm musculature during a digital rectal examination. In dogs, perineal hernias are mostly treated by surgical intervention. Appositional herniorrhaphy is sometimes difficult to perform as the levator ani and coccygeus muscles are atrophied and unsuitable for use. Internal obturator muscle transposition is the most commonly used technique. Additional techniques include superficial gluteal and semitendinosus muscle transposition, in addition to the use of synthetic implants and biomaterials. Pexy techniques may be used to prevent rectal prolapse and bladder and prostate gland displacement. Postoperative care involves analgesics, antibiotics, a low-residue diet, and stool softeners.
