title: Modified perineal urethrostomy using preputial mucosa in cats.
abstract: A modified perineal urethrostomy was performed in 14 males cats with partial or complete urethral obstruction. Follow-up information was available for 2 to 18 months. By use of this method, the preputial tissues were preserved, and the penile urethra was anastomosed to the preputial mucosa to enlarge and lengthen the urethra. Urine flow was reestablished in all cats without evidence of urethral stenosis or other major complications. Appearance of the perineal region and prepuce was not substantially altered.
