  • Title: The use of a low-profile cystostomy tube to relieve urethral obstruction in a dog.
    Author: Salinardi BJ, Marks SL, Davidson JR, Senior DF.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2003; 39(4):403-5. PubMed ID: 12873032.
    Abstract:
    A 10-year-old, spayed female Dalmatian was diagnosed with granulomatous urethritis causing urethral obstruction. Due to the extensive involvement of the urethra, a urethrostomy was not possible. A commercially available, silicone, low-profile gastrostomy tube was placed as a prepubic cystostomy tube to achieve urinary diversion. This tube is easy to use, has a one-way valve, and lies flush with the skin margin, thereby decreasing the likelihood of inadvertent removal. This tube should be considered to achieve long-term urinary diversion when urethral involvement is extensive.
