Abstract: This case study, "Surgical Management of Traumatic Hernia in a Ten-Year-Old Dog," explores the life-saving intervention performed on a senior dog suffering from a traumatic hernia after a vehicle accident. Presenting with severe abdominal pain, swelling, and impaired mobility, diagnostic exams identified herniation of the urinary bladder, intestines, and omentum. Following stabilization, a detailed surgical procedure was executed to repair the hernia through a precise caudo-ventral midline incision, carefully repositioning the organs and closing the rupture. Intensive postoperative care, including antibiotics, hydration, and restricted movement, supported a smooth recovery. The successful outcome highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention and comprehensive aftercare in managing complex hernias, demonstrating a promising prognosis for similar cases in veterinary practice.
