Q

How common is testicular torsion?

A

Unusual, more common in retained testicles. Signs can be variable and confused with disease of other body systems.

22
Q

What are the presenting signs for a protruding penis?

A

social problems for owner
low grade irritation
pain, bleeding and trauma

23
Q

What are 3 causes for a protruding penis?

A

Paraphimosis
Priapism
Trauma

24
Q

What is paraphimosis?

A

When a non-erect penis protrudes from prepuce and cannot be retracted or retained in its normal position.

25
Q

Why might paraphimosis occur?

A

narrowed preputial orifice
penile enlargement preventing retraction
failure of penis to stay in prepuce (abnormally short prepuce, weak preputial mm, weak retractor penis m, contracture following wound)

CONGENITAL OR ACQUIRED. CAUSE MAY BE CLEAR OR NOT APPARENT.

26
Q

What are the treatment options for paraphimosis?

A

Depends of SEVERITY and CAUSE:

  • symptomatic
  • surgical enlargement of preputial opening
  • phallopexy
  • preputial lengthening/ reconstructive procedures
  • partial penile amputation
27
Q

Define priapism and what are 3 causes?

A

persistent erection of > 4 hours not associated with sexual excitement. uncommon in cats and dogs. associated with:

  • trauma
  • perineal abscess
  • neurological disease
28
Q

How is priapism categorised in humans?

How can these be differentiated?

A

NON- ISCAEMIC - arterial, high flow
ISCHAEMIC - veno-occulusive, low flow

Differentiation = via clinical signs
Non-ischaemic entire penis is partially rigid and non-painful, rarely an emergency
Ischaemic - painful rigid shaft with a soft glans. EMERGENCY!!!

29
Q

Other than clinical signs, how else can priapism be diagnosed?

A

Ultrasound

Blood gas analysis of aspirated blood

30
Q

What are the treatment options for priapism?

A

PREVENT SELF-TRAUMA AND EXPOSURE (buster collar, analgesia, topical treatment)
(therapuetic aspiration via surgical incisions and flushing of the corpus cavernosum +/- intra-cavernosal injection of phenylephrine)
If conservative measures or are inappropriate due to ischaemia, amputation with perineal urethrostom (cat) or scrotal urethrostomy (dog)

31
Q

What are three causes of penile masses?

A

Inflammatory disease
Neoplasia
Urethral prolapse (brachcephalics)

32
Q

How common are penile tumours?

A

Overall uncommon

Dog> cat

33
Q

What are the penile tumour types?

A

Soft tissues - TVT, SCC, papilloma, lymphoma, adenocarcinoma, MCT
Os penis - osteosarcoma, ossifying fibroma, chondrosarcoma

34
Q

How do you treat penile tumours?

A

depends on tumour type and location

can be medical or surgical

35
Q

When might penile injury occur?

A

secondary to mating, fence jumping, dog fights, cat bites or RTA
Also possible iatrogenic secondary to surgery

36
Q

What are the presenting sings of penile injury?

A

haemorrhage, may also have dysuria and/or extravasation of urine. treatment depends on degree and extent of wound.

37
Q

What is a hypospadia?

A

developmental abnormality
failure of fusion of urogenital folds and incomplete formation of urethra
anywhere along ventral aspect of penis
may be associated with other developmental abnormalities
surgical correction not usually attempted.

38
Q

When is a persistent frenulum seen?

Treatment?

A

usually immature dogs
penis and prepuce should be fully separated after puberty

Treatment - sectioning under short GA

39
Q

What is phimosis?

A

inability to protrude the penis beyond ht epreputial orifice.

CONGENITAL or ACQUIRED

40
Q

Treatment of phimosis = ?

A 
surgical enlargement (prepuce)
treatment of underlying condition
41
Q

What is normal preputial discharge like?

A

slight creamy preputial discharge is normal in a mature dog since prepuce has normal commensal flora

42
Q

What is abnormal preputial discharge like?

A

severe/ blood tinged - determine if originatiing from external urethral orifice (prostate problem?) or from prepuce.

43
Q

What is an important sign of male RPT disease in dog?

A

dyschezia (usually indicates prostatic enlargement, may be in combination with other disorders such as perineal rupture.

44
Q

What are important causes of prostatic disease in dogs?

A

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)
Prostatitis /abscessation
Prostatic cycsts
Neoplasia

45
Q

Outline the features of BPH

A

Commonest prostatic disorder in entire male dogs
normal aging change that may be associated with clinical disease
testosterone depnedent
UNIFORM prostatic enlargement, may –> dyschezia and occasionally dysuria
may also be associated with haematuria / urethral bleeding
Dx = PE, ultrasonography, biopsy (rarely)
Tx = castration, permanent involution within 3-12 weeks, irreversible. Alternatively some medical treatments are available.

46
Q

What are possible medical treatments of BPH

A

ANTI-ANDROGENS: Osaterone acetate
SYNTHETIC PROGESTAGEN: Delmadinone acetate

Less commonly, these options:
GnRH ANALOGUE: Deslorelin, a contraceptive implant –> reversible cstration by suppressing pituitary gonadal axis for 6 mo, not licensed to treat BPH
OESTROGENS: not recommended as may get squamous metaplasia and other serious side effects
FAECAL SOFTENERS

47
Q

Outline the features of prostatitis/ prostatic abscessation

A

Infections common in dogs, v rare in cat
Usually associated with UTI
May arise from haematogenous spread
Infection more likely in entire dogs (secretory nature of prostate)
May be associated with purulent uretheral discharge, symptomatic illness, dysuric, painful, vomiting, diarrhoea, PU/PD
Occasionally presents as collapse and septic shock

48
Q

How do Dx prostatits/ prostatic enlargement?

A

PE, ultrasonography, aspirate, rectal exam (CAREFUL!)

Check for testicular involvement

49
Q

Tx options for prostatits/ prostatic enlargement?

A

medical or surgical

prostatic drainage

50
Q

Outline the features of prostatic cysts and paraprostatic cysts

A

Not uncommon in dog, may occur in cat??

51
Q

Differentiate prostatic and paraprostatic cysts

A 
PROSTATIC  = parenchymal cycsts
PARAPROSTATIC = periprostatic cysts
52
Q

What is the aetiology of prostatic and paraprostatic cysts?

A

unknown but probably related to secretory activity as well as secondary to possible squamous metaplasia, neoplasia, resolved abscess, uterus masculinus remnant?
