A 19-year-old male ostrich () was referred to a veterinary teaching hospital (São Paulo State University, Botucatu, Brazil) due to a 6-month history of recurrent prolapse of the phallus. On physical examination, 2 ulcerative wounds were present on the phallus, as well as caseous plaques and myiasis. Conservative treatment resulted in improvement but prolapse of the phallus remained. Thus, a decision was made to perform a partial phallectomy. The surgery was successful and no postoperative complications occurred. When the ostrich was reexamined 6 months postsurgery, the ostrich was alert, in good health, and the surgical site completely healed. The owner verbally reported no recurrence of the phallus prolapse 1 year after surgery.
一只19岁的雄性鸵鸟因阴茎反复脱垂6个月被转诊至一家兽医教学医院（巴西圣保罗州立大学，博图卡图）。体格检查发现阴茎上有2处溃疡性伤口，还有干酪样斑块和蝇蛆病。保守治疗后病情有所改善，但阴茎仍有脱垂。因此，决定进行部分阴茎切除术。手术成功，术后未出现并发症。术后6个月对鸵鸟进行复查时，鸵鸟警觉，健康状况良好，手术部位完全愈合。主人口头报告术后1年阴茎脱垂未复发。
