Removal of the anal sacs is a frequently performed surgery in dogs. It is most often indicated for definitive treatment of chronic anal sacculitis. The anal sacs are intimately associated with the external anal sphincter; therefore, fecal incontinence resulting from damage to this muscle or its innervation is a potential complication of anal sacculectomy. Fistula formation and incisional infection are other possible complications. In general, the overall incidence of complications after anal sacculectomy is low.
摘除肛门囊是犬类中经常进行的一项手术。它最常用于慢性肛门囊炎的确定性治疗。肛门囊与肛门外括约肌密切相关；因此，因该肌肉或其神经支配受损导致的大便失禁是肛门囊切除术的一种潜在并发症。瘘管形成和切口感染是其他可能的并发症。一般来说，肛门囊切除术后并发症的总体发生率较低。
