| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of surgical methods
concerning the severity of persistent paraphimosis and describe the surgical
techniques.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The study material consisted of 4 dogs with
paraphimosis. Based on anamnesis and clinical examination, 3 dogs
were diagnosed with idiopathic permanent and one dog with traumatic
paraphimosis. According to diagnoses and findings, patients underwent
preputial advancement, partial penile amputation, phallopexy, and total
penile amputation.<p>
<b>Results: </b>Recurrence of disease 1 week following surgery was recorded as
postoperative complication in the first patient with preputial advancement.
Intermittent bleeding in the surgical field in the second patient undergoing
partial penile amputation continued for 3 days. No complications were
observed as a result of the preputial advancement and phallopexy procedures
performed for the treatment of the third case. The surgical wound healing
time was recorded as one week in the second and third cases. In the fourth
case, intermittent bleeding persisted for 12 days postoperatively and mild
dermatitis was noted at the surgical site. According to the information
received from the patient owners on the 30th day after the surgery, it was
noted that there was no recurrence of the disease and no complications were
encountered.<p>
<b>Conclusion: </b>According to the results of our study preputial advancement
surgery technique alone was unsuccessful when the length of the prolapsed
penis from the prepuce was 1,5 cm or more in patients with permanent
paraphimosis. In addition, in cases where the disorder of the penile shaft and
urethra allows, partial penile amputation should be preferred to total penile
amputation. |
