Plain-English summary
Three dogs with a condition called paraphimosis, where the penis cannot retract back into the sheath, underwent surgery to fix the problem. The surgery involved attaching the penis to the sheath to prevent it from getting stuck again. After follow-up evaluations ranging from 4 to 31 months, all three dogs recovered well and showed no complications. This treatment successfully resolved their issues.

Follow-up evaluation was performed 4 to 31 months postoperatively. Treatment was successful in each case, and no dog had any adverse sequelae.
