This study details a successful surgical reconstruction of a dog's prepuce using buccal mucosal grafts and a subdermal plexus flap. The procedure restored penile coverage after severe trauma in a young dog.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Canine Reconstructive Surgery
  • Urology

Background:

  • Traumatic injury to the prepuce and os penis in young dogs can lead to significant complications.
  • Reconstructive surgery is essential for restoring function and preventing further issues.
  • Previous surgical techniques may have limitations in complex cases.

Observation:

  • A 2-year-old dog presented with a 22-month history of penile issues following prepuce loss and penile fracture at 8 weeks of age.
  • The dog experienced intermittent drying and chafing of the distal penis.
  • The cranial portion of the prepuce was lost, and the os penis was fractured.

Findings:

  • A multi-stage surgical reconstruction of the prepuce was performed.
  • Techniques included free buccal mucosal grafting and a peripreputial bipedicle subdermal plexus flap transfer.

  • Successful mucosal and cutaneous coverage of the penis was achieved.

    • Implications:

    • This reconstructive approach offers a viable solution for severe penile and preputial trauma in dogs.
    • The surgical techniques described can restore penile integrity and function.
    • Further research into long-term outcomes of such reconstructions is warranted.
