However, due to the surgical training and substantial costs relating to laser equipment, this may not always be feasible. This aim of this study was to describe a novel, modified surgical technique for cystoscopic\u2010guided scissor transection of intramural ureteral ectopia detailing the complications and outcomes in dogs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Single\u2010centre retrospective study. Medical records were searched for female dogs treated for ureteral ectopia by cystoscopic\u2010guided scissor transection between 2010 and 2022. Outcome was based on owner questionnaire and dogs were assigned a continence score pre\u2010 and post\u2010operatively based on a 5\u2010point scoring system. Descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank test were used to analyse the data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010five dogs met the inclusion criteria. Median surgical time was 42.5\u2009minutes (20 to 120\u2009minutes) and there were no intraoperative complications. Of the 25 dogs, three (12%) had major complications and two (8%) had minor complications. Of the 18 dogs available for follow\u2010up, 66% of dogs were continent with surgery alone and all dogs' continence scores improved following surgery. Median continence score pre\u2010operatively was 1\/5 and post\u2010operatively was 5\/5. Surgery had a significant improvement in continence scores when comparing pre\u2010 and post\u2010operative values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Significance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cystoscopic\u2010guided scissor transection of intramural ectopic ureters significantly improved continence scores with low complication rates.
