SALAZAR-GROSSKELWING, E.. Circumferential postioplasty in kittens with acquired phimosis. Case report. Rev. Med. Vet. Zoot. [online]. 2023, vol.70, n.2, pp.245-251.  Epub 16-Abr-2024. ISSN 0120-2952.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rfmvz.v70n2.105838.

Although phimosis doesn't occur frequently in cats, one likely cause is sucking between orphaned kittens from the same litter. This report presents the case of a male kitten with acquired phimosis at an early age, whose main clinical signs were dysuria, polla-kiuria and bulging of the foreskin. At three months of age, it was decided to perform a circumferential postioplasty to correct the defect, a procedure after which the signs remitted without complications. The aim of this report is to provide information for the resolution of similar cases. The procedure is safe and affordable.
