Three female Murrah buffaloes with soft, painless swellings at the right side of vulva were presented. The size of the swelling was increasing gradually. All three buffaloes had a history of recent parturition and in all three animals status of defecation was normal. On rectal palpation, urinary bladder was not palpated in all the three buffaloes. At the time of presentation, all the buffaloes were in good health, and all the body parameters were within normal range. The surgical management of perineal hernia was done under epidural anesthesia and local infiltration. Satisfactory post-operative recovery was observed. Postoperative medication included inj. A.C Vet 15 mg/kg twice daily for 5 days, inj. Gentamicin 4 mg/kg once daily for 5 days and inj. meloxicam 0.2 mg/kg once daily for 3 days.
