Bilateral pubic and ischial osteotomy for surgical management of caudal colonic and rectal masses in six dogs and a cat.

CASE DESCRIPTION
6 dogs and a cat were evaluated because of caudal colonic and rectal masses.


CLINICAL FINDINGS
Tumors were identified in the caudal portion of the colon (n = 2), in the area of the colorectal junction (2), or in the rectum (3).


TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
In all 7 animals, bilateral pubic and ischial osteotomy was performed to provide exposure of the rectum and associated tumor. Masses were successfully removed, and all 7 animals were able to ambulate normally within 3 days after surgery. No complications associated with the osteotomy procedure were identified.


CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Findings suggested that bilateral pubic and ischial osteotomy provided sufficient exposure for resection of intrapelvic tumors in dogs and a cat with minimal complications.
