title: Total cystectomy and subsequent urinary diversion to the prepuce or vagina in dogs with transitional cell carcinoma of the trigone area: a report of 10 cases (2005-2011).
abstract: The cases of 10 dogs with transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder that underwent total cystectomy were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of total cystectomy and ureteral transplantation to the prepuce or vagina. Dehiscence of ureterostomy (n = 2), pyelonephritis (n = 3), oliguria (n = 2), azotemia (n = 1), and ureteral obstruction (n = 1) were observed complications. The estimated median survival time was 385 days. This study demonstrates the feasibility of total cystectomy and subsequent urinary diversion to the prepuce or vagina in dogs. Compared to previous ureterocolonic anastomosis, this technique is associated with fewer gastrointestinal and neurologic complications.
