Twenty male castrated cats with feline lower urinary tract disease presented for perineal urethrostomy were enrolled in this study. Surgery was performed in either dorsal recumbency (group A) or ventral recumbency (group B). Motor response of patellar tendon, gastrocnemius muscle, pelvic limb withdrawal and perineal reflexes, as well as the presence of spinal pain in the lumbosacral region, motor function of the tail and faecal continence, were examined before surgery, and 24 h and 14 days after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The animals had a mean weight of 5.07 \u00b1 1.08 kg, with a mean age of 6.12 \u00b1 1.85 years.

The comparison between neurological examinations (perineal reflex and spinal pain) before and 24 h after surgery revealed a significantly decreased briskness of the perineal reflex and an increased occurrence of spinal pain 24 h after surgery (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.043 and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.031, respectively).
