Cystotomy & Urethrostomy

This procedure is most often performed in male cats. In cats with bladder stones that can be flushed into the bladder, a cystotomy is performed to remove the stones.  If a cat has multiple occurrences that cannot be unblocked or managed medically, the next step is a perineal urethrostomy ("PU"), or surgical widening of the urethra. This procedure is intending to provide a permanent opening that allows crystals, mucus plugs, or small stones to pass out of the urethra, thus minimizes the chance of re-obstruction.
