Abstract

Objective: To assess the prevalence of postoperative complications in cats that underwent perineal urethrostomy (PU) in which 6-0 glycomer 631 was used to suture urethral mucosa to skin.

Animals: 314 male cats.

Procedures: Medical records for cats that received a PU at Central Texas Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital between 2013 and 2023 were assessed. Details including signalment, clinical status, additional surgical procedures, and postoperative complications were recorded.

Results: 18 of 314 (5.7%) cats developed minor complications, and 7 of 314 (2.2%) cats developed major complications that required surgical revision or resulted in humane euthanasia.

Clinical relevance: Using 6-0 glycomer 631 suture is acceptable for apposition of urethral mucosa to skin in cats that undergo PU. Minor complication rates were lower and percentage of cats requiring revision surgery comparable to values reported in previous studies in which absorbable, nonabsorbable, or larger suture types were used.

6-0糖蛋白631在公猫会阴尿道造口术中的应用：314例（2013-2023）。

目的：探讨猫会阴尿道造口术（PU）采用6-0糖蛋白631缝合尿道粘膜与皮肤后并发症的发生率。动物：314只公猫。程序：评估2013年至2023年期间在德克萨斯中央兽医专业和急救医院接受PU治疗的猫的医疗记录。详细信息包括信号、临床状态、附加手术程序和术后并发症。结果：314只猫中有18只（5.7%）出现了轻微并发症，314只猫中有7只（2.2%）出现了严重并发症，需要手术修复或导致人道安乐死。临床意义：6-0糖聚体631缝线可用于行PU术的猫的尿道粘膜与皮肤的连接。轻微并发症发生率较低，需要翻修手术的猫的百分比与先前使用可吸收、不可吸收或较大缝线类型的研究报告的值相当。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Veterinary Science is a global, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that bridges animal and human health, brings a comparative approach to medical and surgical challenges, and advances innovative biotechnology and therapy. Veterinary research today is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant, transforming how we understand and investigate animal health and disease. Fundamental research in emerging infectious diseases, predictive genomics, stem cell therapy, and translational modelling is grounded within the integrative social context of public and environmental health, wildlife conservation, novel biomarkers, societal well-being, and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization. Frontiers in Veterinary Science brings a 21st-century approach—networked, collaborative, and Open Access—to communicate this progress and innovation to both the specialist and to the wider audience of readers in the field. Frontiers in Veterinary Science publishes articles on outstanding discoveries across a wide spectrum of translational, foundational, and clinical research. The journal''s mission is to bring all relevant veterinary sciences together on a single platform with the goal of improving animal and human health.
