A 14-month-old, sexually intact, male, Lagotto dog with complete Y-type urethral duplication was subjected to accessory urethra treatment for cystoscopic guided laser cauterization, with a 10-Watt diode laser with 550-micron fiber and 2.3 Fr outer diameter. The laser cauterization, that was repeated every 14 days for a total of three times, was performed by inserting the instrument from the accessory urethra outlet in the perianal area until it could be seen by the urethroscope, inside the ischial urethra. Nevertheless, this technique that proved to be non-invasive, less expensive than surgery, of short duration, and safe, did not allow the complete closure of the abnormal urethral tract. Therefore, the subsequent surgical removal of the accessory urethra was carried out. To the authors\u2019 knowledge this is the first report on the use of cystoscopic guided diode laser cauterization for accessory urethra treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci10020126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]],"date-time":"2023-02-07T01:35:17Z","timestamp":1675733717000},"page":"126","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cystoscopic Guided Laser Cauterization in a Dog with Complete Y-Type Urethral Duplication"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Manuel","family":"Dall\u2019Aglio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Medico Veterinarie, University of Parma, 43128 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0727-1167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fausto","family":"Quintavalla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Medico Veterinarie, University of Parma, 43128 Parma, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.146.2.44","article-title":"Urethral duplication and chromosomal translocation in a Swiss braunvieh heifer","volume":"146","author":"Braun","year":"2000","journal-title":"Vet.
