“…If the prostate is included in the hernial contents and it is necessary to proceed with a total or partial prostatectomy, a two-step approach is usually performed: celiotomy to reposition the organ in place and remove it, perineal approach to repair the hernia. The literature reports cases of involuntary perineal prostatectomy in the case of surgical treatments aimed at resolving perineal hernias whose contents also consisted of prostate and urethra [ 21 , 22 ], or in cryptorchidism surgery [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The cases described referred to dogs whose prostate had been removed by mistake in a previous surgery, requiring subsequent corrective interventions.…”

Perineal hernia refers to the herniation of pelvic and abdominal viscera into the subcutaneous perineal region through a pelvic diaphragm weakness: a concomitant prostatic disease is observed in 25–59% of cases. Prostatectomy involves the removal of the prostate, either partially (partial prostatectomy) or completely (total prostatectomy). In case of complicated perineal hernia, staged procedures are recommended: celiotomy in order to perform colopexy, vasopexy, cystopexy, and/or to treat the prostatic disease, and perineal access in order to repair the perineal hernia. Very few reports relate prostatectomy using a perineal approach and, to the extent of the author’s knowledge, this technique has not been thoroughly investigated in the literature. The aim of this article is to retrospectively describe the total perineal prostatectomy in dogs presenting perineal hernia with concomitant prostatic diseases which required the removal of the gland. The experience in six dogs (three dogs with the prostate within hernial contents and three dogs with intrapelvic prostate) is reported as well as advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of the surgical procedure. In the authors’ clinical practice, total perineal prostatectomy has been a useful surgical approach to canine prostatic diseases, proven to be safe, well tolerated, and effective.
