Abstract
A technique that utilizes transposition of the internal obturator muscle for repair of perineal hernias was evaluated. Forty‐two male dogs were followed for at least one year after surgery. The repair failed in only one animal, a dog with previously operated bilateral hernias. Microangiography demonstrated an adequate blood supply to the transposed internal obturator muscles of two dogs examined at three weeks and three months after surgery.Keywords
