La obstrucción uretral es una condición clínica de emergencia, comúnmente vista en gatos, que puede resultar en un deterioro grave de su salud, como daño renal agudo. Esta condición puede tener causas mecánicas, anatómicas o funcionales, y presentar extrañeza, periuria y lamido excesivo de los genitales como síntomas principales. El diagnóstico se realiza con base en la historia, examen físico y de imagen, como ecografía y radiografía, y la identificación de la etiología es de suma importancia para instituir el tratamiento y reducir la recurrencia. Al diagnosticar la enfermedad, el inicio del tratamiento debe ser inmediato e intensivo, debido al riesgo de evolucionar rápidamente a la muerte. En este sentido, buscamos corregir las alteraciones hidroelectrolíticas, aportar analgesia y realizar el aclaramiento uretral, con una variación en este último procedimiento, por lo que la elección del método más adecuado puede variar según cada caso. A partir de la complejidad de su establecimiento, diagnóstico y tratamiento, este artículo de revisión tuvo como objetivo recopilar información actual y relevante relacionada con la condición de obstrucción uretral en gatos, buscando enfatizar los aspectos clínicos, quirúrgicos y etiológicos de la enfermedad, así como orientar a los médicos veterinarios en su tratamiento y prevención.
