Partial Phallectomy and Penile Retroversion as a Surgical Approach for Severe Preputial Laceration in a Donkey (<i>Equus asinus</i>).

ABSTRACT: Penile trauma in equines can cause injuries of varying severity, potentially leading to temporary or permanent dysfunction. In severe cases, various surgical techniques can be employed to restore the animal's quality of life, such as partial phallectomy combined with penile retroversion.

This report describes the surgical treatment of a donkey with extensive preputial and penile laceration using the technique of partial phallectomy combined with penile retroversion.
