Feline urethral obstructions are common in young male cats because the urethra is long and narrow. It has a high mortality rate and most cases need urgent surgery to be resolved. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of perineal urethrostomy (PU) in Male cats. The surgical procedure was accomplished on five Persian male cats; the postoperative administration included three days of catheterization and antibiotic therapy for seven days. The follow-up period was from six months up to 18 months. The results showed successful perineal urethrostomy for four of five cases without complications or re-obstruction episodes during the follow-up period. In conclusion, perineal urethrostomy demonstrated 80% success rate with no complications and excellent clinical outcomes in Persian male cats without recurrence of urethral obstruction. |
