Dogs were included when sutures had been placed around the sacrotuberous ligament. Short\u2010term outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded.

The primary clinical sign was tenesmus in 43 dogs and dysuria\u2010stranguria in four dogs. Bilateral hernias were detected in 17 dogs. No intraoperative complications occurred. Median surgical time was 50\u2009minutes for unilateral PH and 120\u2009minutes for bilateral PH. Minor postoperative complications consisting of surgical wound swelling (9), wound dehiscence (4), and temporary tenesmus (2) occurred in 10 dogs. No major complications or recurrence were reported. The only factors associated with an increased risk of complications included increasing age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.019) and surgical treatment of a recurrent PH (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.043).
