Abstract

Abstract: A 9‐year‐old neutered male Dachshund dog was assessed for stranguria. An enlarged prostate was identified on physical examination, and a diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma confirmed by cytology. Due to a neoplastic lower urinary tract obstruction, palliative surgical urinary diversion treatment was performed with laparoscopic assisted cutaneous ureterostomy (LACU). The dog recovered well without any major complications. Adjuvant chemotherapy was maintained and continued for post‐surgical medical therapy. This report describes a novel minimally invasive assisted technique in canine patients for palliative treatment of prostatic neoplasia. Abstract : LACU is a feasible option for palliative surgical treatment in cases of prostatic carcinoma in dogs. This report describes a novel minimally invasive assisted technique in canine patients for palliative treatment of prostatic neoplasia
