Objective: The aim of this single centre study was to determine: a) the outcome of isolated preputial reconstruction in distal hypospadias and b) overall parental satisfaction.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of case notes was performed to determine outcome. Postal parent-satisfaction questionnaires were devised to quantify subjective assessment of care and outcome.
Results: A total of 33 cases of isolated preputial reconstruction were identified between 2006 and 2012. Three sets of notes were untraceable. The median age of the 30 remaining patients at surgery was 23 months (range 11-119). At follow-up, 28 (94%) patients had retractile foreskins that had healed well. One patient (3%) had a foreskin fistula and the parents chose to proceed with circumcision rather than fistula closure. A second patient (3%) developed late phimosis secondary to balanitis xerotica obliterans and also underwent circumcision. Twelve follow-up questionnaires were returned. The median overall success rating of the operation was 4.7/5.0 (94%). All respondents reported that they would recommend the procedure to another parent whose child has a similar diagnosis.
Conclusion: Isolated preputial reconstruction improves the cosmetic appearances in distal hypospadias, has a low complication rate and offers high parental satisfaction.

Objective: Various facultative pathogenic bacteria have been detected in the dog's prepuce. To prevent the transmission of these bacteria, some breeders flush the prepuce of their stud dogs before mating. The purpose of this study is to find out whether preputial flushing is medically useful before mating.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the preliminary outcome of a novel modification of a penile disassembly procedure.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 15 patients with isolated male epispadias (IME) who underwent a modified penile disassembly procedure. This modification involved leaving the glans connected while dissecting the urethral plate from the corpus cavernosum.
Objective: To provide a video tutorial on how to perform preputial scraping for the testing of Tritrichomonas foetus in bulls.
Animals: Postpubertal bulls.
Methods: A preputial scraping device is inserted in the prepuce, and back-and-forth scraping movements are made to collect smegma and T foetus organisms.

The role of in canine fertility disorders is still poorly understood. As infection is often asymptomatic, there is an increasing need for appropriate diagnostic methods and treatment plans that would allow the reliable detection of infection and rapid alleviation of infection symptoms in affected dogs. In this study, we included 14 dogs with fertility problems and 16 dogs without fertility disorder signs.
