Plain-English summary
Six dogs were brought in for a condition called chronic penile protrusion, where the penis remains extended outside the body. The veterinarians treated these dogs with a surgical procedure to reposition the skin around the penis. This surgery worked well for four of the dogs, but two had the problem come back. For one of those, a partial amputation was needed to fix the issue. After follow-up, five of the dogs were found to be healthy and normal.

Abstract
Idiopathic chronic penile protrusion was diagnosed in six dogs during a seven year period. All cases were treated surgically by using cranial advancement of the prepuce. The surgical technique was successful in four dogs, while the remaining two developed recurrence. In one of the latter cases, partial penile amputation was performed to correct the recurrent protrusion. Five dogs were available for follow-up clinical examination and all were found to be normal.
