Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old male mixed breed dog weighing 16.5 kg had surgery to fix injuries to his ureters and bladder, but complications arose afterward. After the first surgery, the connection in his right ureter came apart, so the vet performed a second surgery using a technique called preputial tube-flap ureteroplasty to create a new ureter. This involved using tissue from the dog's prepuce to help secure the ureter and reduce tension. Six months later, the dog was doing well and had a good quality of life with no major issues reported.

Abstract
A 16.50 kg, 5-year-old male mixed breed dog presented due to complications following a ureterocolonic anastomosis performed to manage of ureteral and urinary bladder injuries. The first revision surgery involved reimplantation of the ureters into the cranial aspect of the prepuce. Dehiscence of the anastomosed ends of the right ureter was observed postoperatively. A second revision surgery was then performed, involving a preputial tube-flap ureteroplasty via preputiotomy. A longitudinal flap was raised from the prepuce and anastomosed to the end of the right ureter to create a neoureter and reduce tension at the anastomosis site. Postoperative follow-up evaluations at 10 days and 6 months revealed no unexpected complications. Six months follow-up, the owner reported that the dog exhibited a satisfactory quality of life.
