- Hesitancy to extend penis or breed
3 Usually single, pedunculated growth
Penile Papilloma:

1.
2.

2. Urethral injury

Penile Hair Rings:
Complications:
1. _________ —-> ________
2.
- Necrosis of urethra —-> fistula
2. Amputation of glans penis

Preputial Trauma and Laceration:
Predisposing factors
1.
2.
3.
- Excessive pendulous sheath
- Excessive preputial length
- Large preputial orifice
DDx for Preputial trauma and Laceration:
1.
2.
3.
- Hematoma
- Retropreputial abscess
- Urethral rupture
Preputial Laceration:
Etiology:
excess prepuce forced caudally during intromission forms a collar of tissue (donut) that gets trapped between, longitudinal laceration occurs on ventral surface during ejaculatory lunge and heals transversely
Retracted preputial laceration can lead to:
1.
2.
- Preputial adhesions
2. Abscess formation
T/F: you should never use a needle to get a diagnosis of preputial laceration
T, it can contaminate the fibroelastic layers and cause adhesions or abscess
Conservative therapy of Preputial Laceration involves:
1.
2.
3.
- Cleaning damaged tissues
- Emollient ointment = Petercillin
- Bandaging and slings
What is Petercillin? What is it composed of?
An emollient ointment used to treat preputial lacerations
Contains 2 g tetracycline power, 60 mL scarlet oil, and 500 g anhydrous lanolin
Pre-surgical therapy for Preputial Laceration treatment includes
1.
2.
3.
- Reduce edema as much as possible
- Petercillin
- Prophylactic antibiotics
Three ways to reduce edema before preputial laceration surgery:
1.
2.
3.
- Hydrotherapy
- Pressure bandage
- Slinging prepuce with burlap material
Surgical Techniques for Preputial Lacerations:
1.
2.
3.
- R/A (circumcision)
- Amputation of affected prepuce (plastic-ring technique)
- Preputial reconstruction (scar revision)
Resection and Anastomosis as treatment for Preputial Laceration:
Keys to success:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
- Aseptic technique
- Hemostasis
- Avoid urine contamination
- Keep tissue happy
- 60-120 days sexual rest post-op
