The patient presented with recurrent right-sided perineal hernia and constipation associated with rectal sacculation. During the herniorrhaphy attempted, severe atrophy of pelvic musculature was identified; therefore, a fascia lata transposition was performed. Postoperatively, the dog developed a rectal prolapse, which was successfully addressed through laparoscopic colopexy. The dog recovered uneventfully, maintaining a good appetite and activity levels. There were no complications related to urination, defecation, gait, or wound healing following either procedure. At the 27-month follow-up, the dog remained in good condition without clinical signs. Fascia lata transposition is effective for complicated perineal hernias lacking of musculature for reconstruction. Laparoscopic colopexy is also a clinically practical option for rectal prolapse in small-breed dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2026.1858804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,24]],"date-time":"2026-07-24T14:16:05Z","timestamp":1784902565000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case
