Surgical correction of chronic penile retroversion through a castration incision in a horse

Summary This is a clinical case report describing the surgical correction of a penis retroverted through a scrotal castration site fistula of at least 4 months duration. The penile retroversion was not observed in the immediate post‐operative period or for the first 2 months of ownership by the owner. Surgical correction involved breaking down adhesions, replacing the penis into its proper anatomic position and debriding and closing the scrotal fistula. The gelding was discharged 1 day post‐operatively without any complications. Follow‐up communication with the owner revealed no apparent concerns with surgical site healing or abnormalities in ability to urinate long‐term.
