Correção cirúrgica da ruptura de pênis em bovinos

Resumo

Six young bulls were indentified as having lesions in the penile albugínea with irregular surfaces, necrosis in the cranial portion of the penis and absence of the internai tissue of the prepuce. They also presented urethral rupture, retention of urine in the ventral body wall and subcutaneus tissue ofthe sheath. These animais had the penis surgically amputated close to the scrotum in the perineal region. The cranial portion of the penis was removed and the stump was sutured to the ventral comissure of the incision leaving 2,5cm of the stump exposed. Oue to quick recovery of the animais and absence of complications, it is suggested that the surgical procedure is clinically adequate for the recovery of animais with ruptures of the penis.
