1Veterinary Surgical Referral Practice of Northern Virginia, Manassas 22110.
Abstract:
Urinary diversion techniques to bypass diseased or damaged portions of the urinary tract represent a critical answer to potentially life-threatening conditions. Prepublic urethrostomy in the dog and cat, when used in the appropriate condition, can provide excellent urinary function. Nine animals, two dogs and seven cats, are presented here as a clinical representation of the benefits of prepubic urethrostomy. The surgical technique, clinical case material in the nine animals, and complications associated with the procedure are presented.
