Abstract
A 4.65 kg 13-month-old male Pekingese dog was referred to veterinary teaching hospital of Konkuk University for evaluation of dysuria. On physical examination, severe distention of urinary bladder was found in abdominal palpation. Urinary catheter could not be guided into urinary bladder. On serum biochemistry, blood urea nitrogen (35.6 mg/dl) and creatinine (1.9 mg/dl) were increased. Obstruction part of proximal membranous urethra was founded on urethrogram. The length (13 mm) of obstruction part was callipered by cystourethrogram and urethrogram on operation. Surgical resection of obstruction part of urethra was performed without pubic osteotomy, and anastomosis was performed with 5-0 polyglycolic acid. Omentum was placed around the urethral anastomosis. On first day after surgery, appetite was good. On day 5, complete blood count and serum biochemistry showed normal range but mild urinary incontinence was showed after removing catheter. On day 7, urinalysis showed normal condition. On day 14, no leakage of surgical site was observed in excretory urogram. On day 21, no more urinary incontinence and good micturition were found. On 1 year later, the patient showed healthy condition without recurrence.
