The aim of the study was to evaluate silicone implants for the treatment of ear and scrotal defects in dogs. Reconstructive surgery using silicone implants was performed in four dogs. Two of the cases presented are concerned with the application of a hard, medical grade, silicone as an implant to correct positional and erectile defects of the ear pinna. The next two cases present the issues af the deferred implantation of the silicone prosthesis as opposed to simultaneous implantation with castration. In all cases, no major complications were noted. The authors discuss the case and indicate a need for corrective/cosmetic surgeries in dogs, and show the type of medical problems related to such procedures. According to the authors, the implantation of the prosthesis at the time of castration increases the chance of a successful surgery. In cases where the placement of the implants is going to be postponed until after the castration, the need for preparatory surgery for the implants' bed, using expanders, should be taken into account. In the case nf bacterial infection, treatment is more successful after the removal of implants.
