A 3-month-old male domestic shorthair cat was presented for evaluation of stranguria and hematuria and a 4-year-old male domestic shorthair cat was presented for evaluation of stranguria. For cat 1, a swollen prepuce, erythematous preputial orifice, and urine pooling from the preputial orifice were noted. The preputial orifice was a pinpoint opening and penis was not extruded from the prepuce. For cat 2, a necrotic skin around the preputial orifice, small preputial orifice, and severe urine pooling from the preputial orifice were noted. The round-shaped resection of the tip of the prepuce was performed to increase the diameter of the preputial orifice and remove erythematous fragile skin or a necrotic skin around the preputial orifice and the edematous, redundant preputial mucosa in these 2 cats. The preputial mucosa was then apposed to the ipsilateral incised skin edge. There was no recurrence of clinical signs over 22- and 24-month follow-up period, respectively. The round-shaped resection technique provided adequate enlargement of the preputial orifice to allow extrusion of penis in these 2 cats with a phimosis. This technique could be helpful in cases with skin and mucosa necrosis around the preputial orifice that require round-shaped resection.
