For each kitten, data regarding signalment, clinical signs, blood tests, history, treatments, surgical procedure, postoperative complications, and outcome were collected. Three kittens met the inclusion criteria. They all had a history of dysuria (n = 3), stranguria (3), and hematuria (3). All of them also had a history of preputial licking by littermates. On clinical examination, abdominal palpation revealed a distended bladder and an inability to extrude the penis through the prepuce (n = 3). The prepuce was distended with urine (n = 3). One cat had presented with a previous episode of hematuria, which resolved with NSAIDs. Two cats exhibited moderate azotemia, while the urea and creatinine values of the third were within normal limits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The surgical technique involved a wedge incision of the prepuce, extended circumferentially around the preputial opening, combined with extensive dissection of the penile-preputial adhesions. The 3 kittens underwent the extensive surgical technique without perioperative complications, and no recurrence was observed 6 months after the surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This technique of extensive preputioplasty may represent an effective option for the management of kittens with phimosis and penile preputial adhesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.25.11.0725","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,10]],"date-time":"2026-04-10T17:10:34Z","timestamp":1775841034000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Surgical technique for the management of acquired phimosis in 3 kittens"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"264","author":[{"given":"Marie","family":"Rousseau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"OnlyVet, Saint-Priest, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier","family":"Ferrand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"OnlyVet, Saint-Priest, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Veterinary Surgery: Small Animal","first-page":"2158","article-title":"Penis and prepuce","author":"Boothe HW","year":"2018","unstructured":"Boothe HW.
