Abstract
Penile frenulum can be defined as the fusion between the epithelial surface of the penis and the preputium seen in animals and humans. In this study, the clinical diagnosis and operative treatment of penile frenulum encountered in a male Brown Swiss cattle were shared. A 2-year-old Brown Swiss cattle brought to Atatürk University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Surgery was examined. The animal was preoperatively prepared and kept for the operation for 12 hours. The animal was sedated with a combination of xylazine (0.05 mg/kg) and ketamine (1 mg/kg), and the penis was removed from the prepuce. Penile tissue and preputium junctions were dissected under local anesthesia. Both preputium and penis were ligated separately. Bleeding was controlled and the bull was raised. The bull was followed for 5 days postoperatively and antibiotic treatment was given. As a result, the operative treatment of the penile frenulum was successful and the bull was able to maintain a fertile life.
