Medical records from male dogs with urinary incontinence were reviewed. Inclusion criteria: \u00a0diagnosis of a UD by retrograde cystourethrography, cystoscopy, abdominal ultrasonography or contrast computed tomodensitometry (CT) or a combination of these modalities, AUS placement, and at least 1 follow-up. Urinary continence score (UCS) was attributed retrospectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Median UCS at presentation was 1\/5. A contrast cystourethrogram was diagnostic in 8\/8 dogs. All diverticula were saccular, and 7\/8 were within the prostatic urethra and 1\/8 extended up to the membranous urethra. A congenital origin was suspected in 7 dogs and acquired in 1. Concurrent anomalies included renal dysplasia or chronic pyelonephritis (n\u2009=\u20094), bilateral cryptorchidism (n\u2009=\u20093), and pelvic urinary bladder (n\u2009=\u20093). All dogs were poorly\/moderately responsive to phenylpropanolamine. Artificial urethral sphincter placement resulted in improvement in continence in all dogs with a median UCS of 4\/5 (5\/5 in 2\/8 dogs, 4\/5 in 5\/8 dogs, 3\/5 in 1\/8 dogs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Urethral diverticulum should be considered in male dogs with persistent urinary incontinence not responding to medical management.
