    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Canine Health
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Perineal hernia is a common condition in male dogs.
    • Breed predispositions and risk factors require further investigation.
    • Surgical outcomes and complication rates vary across studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the incidence and characteristics of canine perineal hernias.
    • To evaluate the surgical outcomes and recurrence rates of herniorrhaphy.
    • To identify common post-operative complications in affected dogs.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of 35 male dogs with perineal hernia.
    • Data collected from Sydney University Veterinary Hospital and Clinic (1975-1979).
    • Analysis of breed, age, weight, hernia type, surgical procedure, recurrence, and complications.

    Main Results:

    • Corgis, Kelpies, and Boxers were over-represented breeds.
    • Mean age was 9.4 years, mean weight 16 kg.
    • Herniorrhaphy performed in 32 dogs; 15.4% recurrence rate in 26 dogs followed >6 months.
    • Wound infection/breakdown observed in 28.6% of dogs.

    Conclusions:

    • Herniorrhaphy offers a favorable recurrence rate compared to other series.
    • Wound complications are a significant concern post-surgery.
    • Further research into preventative measures and improved surgical techniques is warranted.
