AB  - Preputioplasty is a surgical procedure performed to increase the orifice diameter and phimosis, which is defined by the inability of the penis to extrude due to the absence or restriction of the preputial opening, is uncommon in cats. A total of eight male cats were referred to Ataturk University Veterinary Faculty Animal Hospital due to the complaint of difficulty in urination and prolonged sitting in the litter box.  Narrowed preputial opening and abdominal distension were noted in all cats. The penis was too stenotic to be extruded from the preputial orifice, and urine accumulated in the preputial cavity. The serum biochemistry and hemogram results of cats were within the reference values. After the clinical examination, acquired phimosis was diagnosed. The scar tissues around the preputial orifice that prevented the extrusion of the penis were resected surgically (preputioplasty). Normal urination was recorded following preputioplasty in all cases. In one case, recurrence was postoperatively detected on the 30th day and perineal urethrostomy was performed. Preputioplasty to enlarge the preputial orifice may be used to treat acquired phimosis in cat with a low rate complication.
