Four dogs had vulvovaginectomy, six had complete vaginectomy, and 11 had a subtotal vaginectomy performed. The mean age at surgery was 9.2\u2009years (SD, 3.3). Thirteen dogs were intact at presentation. Smooth muscle tumors were diagnosed most commonly (10 leiomyomata, three leiomyosarcomas, two leiomyofibromas). The median duration of follow\u2010up was 520\u2009days (range, 71\u20101955). Major complications requiring revision surgery were recorded in two dogs. Postoperative UIC occurred in six of 21 dogs, resolving spontaneously within 60\u2009days in three dogs. Dogs with malignant tumors (n\u2009=\u20096) survived at least 71\u2009days (median, 626; 95% CI, 71\u20101245), and recurrence of disease occurred in two dogs. In dogs with benign tumors (n\u2009=\u200915), the median survival time was not reached. These dogs survived at least 104\u2009days and had no recurrence of the disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Vaginectomy and vulvovaginectomy resulted in prolonged survival and low rates of major complications and UIC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study provides evidence to recommend that the risks of this procedure and expectations should be discussed with clients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vsu.13466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,9]],"date-time":"2020-06-09T10:04:15Z","timestamp":1591697055000},"page":"1132-1143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Outcomes associated with vaginectomy and vulvovaginectomy in 21 dogs"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Jessica A.","family":"Ogden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University  Columbus Ohio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6695-6273","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura E.","family":"Selmic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University  Columbus Ohio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julius M.","family":"Liptak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VCA Canada Alta Vista Animal Hospital  Ottawa Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8489-4643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle L.","family":"Oblak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph  Guelph Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6132-156X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William T.
