Abstract

When perineal muscles separates, one or many organs of the pelvic and abdominal cavity displaces beneath skin and form swelling in different sizes, stiffnesses and forms. This is called perineal hernia. 10 years old, unneutered male Rottweiller dog operated because of swelling in the perineal area. In the operation, 9-10 cm structure of vasculated mass had been detected. Structure diagnosed as a prostate gland. Suspicion of malign enlargement leaded to total prostatectomy and after anastomosis of cranial and caudal side of urethra. Area closed (sutured) in appropriate techniques. Patient became healthy without complication postoperatively. Histopathologic examination reveals subacute prostatitis with papillary hyperplasia of prostate and adenocarcinomatous lesions.

Perineal Hernialı Bir Köpekte Total Prostatektomi Olgusu

Abstract

Perineal kasların ayrılması sonucunda pelvik ve abdominal boşluk organlarının bir veya birkaçının perineal bölgede deri altına yer değiştirmesi sonucu bu bölgede değişik büyüklükte, kıvamda ve şekilde şişkinlik oluşturmasına perineal fıtık denir. 10 yaşında, Rottweiller ırkı ve kısırlaştırılmamış erkek bir köpek, perineal bölgede gelişen şişkinlikten dolayı operasyona alındı. Operasyonda 9-10 cm boyutunda ve üzeri damarlı kitlesel bir yapı ile karşılaşıldı. İncelemede yapının prostat olduğu anlaşıldı. Kötü huylu bir büyüme olabileceği şüphesi üzerine total prostatektomi ve sonrasında üretranın kranial ve kaudal uçlarının anastomozu yapıldı. Bölge daha sonra tekniğine uygun olarak kapatıldı. Hastanın postoperatif olarak komplikasyonsuz iyileştiği görüldü. Histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda; papiller kistik prostat hiperplazisi ve adenokarsinomatöz odaklara sahip subakut prostatitis tanısı konuldu.
