A large urethrolith (3.7 \u00d7 2.0 \u00d7 1.5 cm) was evident in the proximal portion of the urethra. The urethrolith was associated with a 3 \u00d7 1-cm area of necrosis in the ventral aspect of the proximal portion of the urethra and a 3 \u00d7 3-cm area of necrosis in the area of the bladder trigone. The necrotic areas were d\u00e9brided, and the defect was repaired with an axial pattern flap constructed from the rectus abdominis muscle. During a follow-up examination 2.5 years after surgery, the dog was clinically normal with no history of urinary incontinence.
