arrastró la parte interna de los mismos a través de un camino de ingreso alquitranado
Al principio, daba la impresión de que alguien tomó los intestinos del paciente y arrastró la parte interna de los mismos a través de un camino de ingreso alquitranado

driveway = área en frente del garaje/la cochera
driveway = (área de) entrada a la cochera
driveway = marquesina (en algunos lugares)
Quizás la parte más difícil de esta traducción sea "driveway". En la República Dominicana, le dicen "marquesina" (pero esta palabra no se entiende en todas partes).
I hope this helps!

As for "culo," I would definitely would avoid it. Though it's commonly used in Spain (even in diaper commercials that mention "el culito de tu bebé"), its use in this context is simply not appropriate. Many people in Latin America might consider this word vulgar. Besides, it's simply not a good translation of "bottom" (which is about as polite a word as you can say in English). bottom=trasero (for a diverse target audience)
