AB  - This study aimed to clarify the effect of surgical excision of caudal rectal tumors via an anal approach in buffaloes and to report the outcome. Total 7 buffaloes were clinically examined. Caudal epidural anaesthesia was performed. The rectum was partially prolapsed and stabilized. Surgical excision was performed 1 cm rostral to the mass in the grossly apparent rectal tissue. The mucosa was apposed with continuous horizontal mattress suture using polydioxanone. The operated animals were followed up for 8 months. Each female buffalo had only one tumor type (Fibrosarcoma [1], Fibroma [2], Leiomyoma [2], Plexiform haemangioma [1] and Myxoma [1]). Healing was achieved without regrowth of the masses. Caudal rectal tumors in buffaloes could be excised with excellent outcome via an anal approach facilitated by partial rectal prolapse.
