Urethrostomy is the surgical opening of a permanent fistula in a urethral segment for draining urine. This technique is used in dogs and cats as one of the therapeutic options for disorders of the urinary system. The postoperative period is considered critical to acquire the desired results and the complete success of the procedure depends on three main points that must be taken into consideration: the availability of the tutor for nursing care, the behavior of the animal and the surgical technique performed. The main purpose of this study was to determine the most common complications that occur in the early postoperative period after different urethrostomy techniques in the canine and feline species, including the most efficient methods for prevention. The presented studies showed that hemorrhage occurred more frequently in the canine species, whereas stenosis, dermatitis and urinary tract infection were more frequent in felines, being this species more susceptible to such conditions due to anatomical and physiological characteristics. However, these changes can be controlled in both species with a proper post-surgical management. The production of more literary studies is recommended aiming at a standardization for the mentioned management.
