A case of dog treated with modified Preputial Urethrostomy Technique for urethral stricture due to urethral polyps in the penile urethra

Abstract

In male dogs, urethral obstruction is a frequently encountered disease, however, obstruction due to urethral polyps is rare and only two cases have been reported. This time, w e encountered a pug with dysuria and suspected neoplastic obstruction in the penile urethra, so we performed urethral reconstruction using a modified Preputial Urethrostomy Technique. Histopathological examination revealed papillary polyps and good postope rative urination. If the lesion was confined to the penis, this operative method was considered effective.
