| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b>The aim of the study is to examine the anatomical structures
of anal region in dogs via different anatomical examination methods
and to present an approach to the region in terms of three perspectives.
Our study is important for presenting new approaches for the
clinical cases such as perineal hernia, anal sac inflammation and fistulae,
rectal prolapse etc.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The study was conducted on 12 dog cadavers.
Comparative dissection study was conducted on perineal region
of 3 male and 3 female dog cadavers. A cross-sectional anatomical
study was performed in 3 male and 3 female cadavers. From 1 male
dog cadaver, computerized tomographic images of perineal region
were obtained and added to the images obtained within the scope
of the present study.<p>
<b>Results:</b> In the study, anal region was examined under three anatomical
titles. Pelvic diaphragm and its anatomical structures, which
are shown via figures and drawings in the literature, were determined
using dissection, cross-sectional anatomy, and computerized
tomography methods. Three-dimensional anatomical data obtained
by sagittal, transversal and horizontal sections was comparatively
determined via cross-sectional anatomy and computerized tomography
methods. In addition, the values of the muscles of the anal
region such as origin, insertion, thickness and width were measured
and a correlation was found between the age of the dog and the
measurements.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> The contribution of this study is important for development
of diagnostic and treatment methods in approaches to be
exhibited especially towards pathological and clinical cases such as
perineal hernia, rectal prolapse, urethrotomy, anal sac inflammation
and fistulae. |
