Abstract :

Perineal hernia is common in old uncastrated male dogs. The common hernial contents in perineal hernia in male dogs are urinary bladder, prostrate, perineal fat and rectum. The present paper describes the successful repair of rectal iverticulum in aged  male dogs. Rectal diverticulum is corrected by lateral resection technique and the perineal hernia was repaired by rotation of obturator muscle.
