Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old male dog underwent a total cysto-prostatectomy, a surgery to remove the bladder and prostate, due to severe urinary issues. The procedure was done using a new technique that didn't require breaking any bones, which is usually part of such surgeries. After the operation, the dog did well, but there was a risk of urinary tract infections afterward. Overall, the surgery was successful, and the dog was able to recover without major complications.

Abstract
We describe a novel technique for total cysto-prostatectomy, followed by uretero-urethral anastomosis in 2 dogs. The technique was successful and was performed without pubic osteotomy. Post-operative urinary tract infections may be a potentially serious event.
