Use of a Retained Urethral Catheter in Three Dogs with Prostatic Neoplasia

Abstract: Percutaneous nephrostomy catheters modified by cutting off the tubing connectors were implanted in three dogs with prostatic neoplasia to relieve or prevent stranguria. One catheter was implanted with a guide wire through a perineal urethrotomy, and two catheters were implanted via celiotomy and cystotomy. Morbidity and complications were minimal. Inflammation of the abdominal incision was present from day 4 to day 8 in the dogs with celiotomy. Urinary incontinence was continuous in one dog and intermittent in… Show more

“…Surgical placement of a retained urethral catheter in 3 dogs with PCA and stranguria enabled the dogs to survive 3-5 months after surgery. 22 In another report, 3 male dogs with prostatic neoplasia were treated by transurethral resection using an electrocautery loop (combined with intraoperative radiation therapy in 2 dogs). 23 Survival times were 32, 74, and 264 days; however, 2 dogs were diagnosed with prostatic transitional cell carcinoma and 1 with undifferentiated carcinoma, therefore it is uncertain whether these results are comparable with our patients.…”

“…Dogs with lower urinary tract neoplasia are often managed with palliative techniques because of complications and poor survival benefit associated with curative‐intent surgery and radiation therapy. Cystostomy tubes and urethral catheters have been used for urine diversion from the site of obstruction without attempting to address the obstructive lesion 12–14 . They are well tolerated but associated with complications, such as ascending UTI, and are limited to select cases because of postoperative management and owner compliance 12–15 .…”

“…Surgery and radiation therapy have been used for curative‐intent although the complication rate is high with minimal survival benefit 2–11 . Accordingly, palliative techniques, like urethral catheterization and cystostomy tube placement, are commonly used to manage dogs with urinary outflow obstruction caused by urogenital neoplasia 12–14 . Postoperative management for both techniques is time consuming, owner compliance limits the acceptability of these procedures, and both are associated with complications, including ascending bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) and neoplastic dissemination 12–15 …”

“…However, iFLUTD often re-occurs and progresses to refractory iFLUTD, which requires perineal urethrostomy to permanently relieve recurrent obstructions in male cats [5,7]. However, there can be post-operative problems such as stricture, recurrent urinary tract infections and perineal hernias [8,16].Urethral stent placement using self-expanding metallic stents under fluoroscopic guidance is widely used in humans and dogs with urethral obstructions secondary to transitional and prostatic tumors [9,[12][13][14]. This technique has several advantages over conventional surgical methods, because it can be used to rapidly, safely, and effectively relieve urethral obstructions, especially in patients in which other traditional techniques have failed, are not available, or not indicated [18].…”
