Additional evidence is needed to evaluate the potential role of this procedure in veterinary medicine. The aim of the study was to describe the techniques used and evaluate the response to balloon dilation of benign urethral strictures in dogs. Medical records were reviewed from eight client-owned dogs who underwent balloon dilation of a benign urethral stricture over a 13 yr period in this retrospective case series. Clinical signs improved for five of eight dogs after a single balloon dilation during a follow-up period of 1 wk to 3 yr. After a second procedure, an additional dog demonstrated improvement for 5.5 yr. Adverse outcomes included urinary incontinence in two dogs and recurrent bacteriuria in four dogs. Findings suggest that balloon dilation is an effective, minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of benign urethral strictures in dogs. Urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection, and stricture recurrence are potential outcomes for dogs undergoing this procedure either as a result of the nature of the underlying disease or as a result of the procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,12]],"date-time":"2019-11-12T19:11:26Z","timestamp":1573585886000},"page":"23-29","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Outcomes Following Balloon Dilation of Benign Urethral Strictures in Dogs: Eight Cases (2005\u20132018)"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Taylor Estes","family":"Gin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine (T.E.G., T.H., S.V.), and Department of Internal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital (P.S.), North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patty","family":"Secoura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine (T.E.G., T.H., S.V.), and Department of Internal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital (P.S.), North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tonya","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine (T.E.G., T.H., S.V.), and Department of Internal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital (P.S.), North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shelly","family":"Vaden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine (T.E.G., T.H., S.V.), and Department of Internal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital (P.S.), North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine","first-page":"2108","article-title":"Canine ureteral and lower urinary tract diseases","volume":"Vol. 2","author":"Adams\n              L","year":"2010","unstructured":"Adams\n              L\n            , SymeHM.
