Abstract

A 5-year-old castrated male Chihuahua weighing 1.8 kg was presented for examination of a right perineal swelling. No clinical signs other than the swelling were observed by the owner. Digital palpation to the swelling confirmed right reducible perineal herniation. Dorsal perineal hernia was observed during surgery. A modified internal obturator transposition combined with a modified traditional perineal herniorrhaphy was performed for the perineal hernia repair. Contralateral herniation involving fat was noted a month after surgery. Coexistence of sciatic, dorsal, and caudal perineal hernias was observed during surgery. Aforementioned herniorrhaphy was performed for the perineal hernia repair. The follow-up information was based on physical examination by veterinarian. The owner reported that there was no evidence of complications related to surgery.

체중 1.8 kg 5년령 중성화 수컷 치와와 개가 오른쪽 회음부 팽대 평가를 위해 건국대학교 부속 동물병원에 내원하였다. 회음부 팽대 외에 다른 증상이 없었으며 신체 검사에서 환납성 회음탈장임을 확인 하였다. 회음 탈장 교정을 위해 수정 된 전통 탈장 봉합술과 수정 된 내폐쇄근 변위 탈장 봉합술을 동시에 실시 하였다. 수술 한달 후 보호자가 왼쪽 회음부 팽대를 보고하였고 수의사의 신체검사에서 왼쪽 회음탈장이 확인 되었다. 수술 중 좌골, 등쪽, 뒤쪽 회음탈장의 동시 발생이 관찰 되었으며 회음 탈장 교정을 위해 위와 동일한 탈장 봉합술을 실시하였다. 정기 점진은 수의사의 신체 검사 혹은 보호자와의 전화 통화를 통해 실시 되었으며 양측 수술 부위에서 수술과 관련한 합병 증상이 없음을 확인하였다.
