Segmental posthetomy successfully treated various equine penile and preputial conditions. All stallions maintained normal function after surgical resection, demonstrating the procedure

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Equine Medicine

Background:

  • Segmental posthetomy involves removing a segment of the internal preputial lamina to treat penile and preputial diseases.
  • The safe limits for preputial resection in stallions without compromising function are not well-established.

Observation:

  • This case series details segmental posthetomy in four stallions with diverse conditions: complete penile degloving injury, preputial scar tissue, preputial sarcoid, and penile/preputial wounds.
  • The study aimed to assess the efficacy of the procedure in restoring normal preputial telescopic function.

Findings:

  • Segmental posthetomy was successfully performed in all four cases, treating the underlying conditions.
  • All stallions in the series retained normal preputial telescopic function and copulatory ability post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Segmental posthetomy is a viable surgical option for various equine penile and preputial pathologies.
  • Careful case evaluation is crucial, particularly when considering specific techniques like the Adam's procedure, to ensure optimal outcomes.
