Abstract
Sugargliders are marsupials that have recently become popular in our country. They usually live in groups and feed on fruit extracts. Unbalanced diet and unsuitable living conditions cause many diseases. One of these disease is penile prolapse which we detected in a sugarglider that came to our faculty. Patient diagnosed with penile prolapse, was taken to the operation immediately. Penis tissue was checked and it was found to maintained its viability.
Therefore the replacement of the prolapsed tissue was performed. No complication and recurrence was observed in the postoperative controls. The patient returned to normal life in a short time, began to mate after 6 months.

Abstract
Uçan kuskuslar (sugarglider), ülkemizde son zamanlarda popüler hale gelen keseli hayvanlardır. Genellikle gruplar halinde yaşarlar ve meyve özleri ile beslenirler. Dengesiz beslenme ve uygun olmayan yaşam koşulları birçok hastalığa neden olur. Bu hastalıklardan biri, fakültemize gelen bir uçan kuskusta tespit ettiğimiz penis prolapsusudur. Prolapsus olguları acil sayıldığından, penis prolapsus tanısı konulan hasta, acilen operasyona alınmıştır. Penis dokusu kontrol edilmiştir ve canlılığını koruduğu görülmüştür. Bu nedenle, prolabe dokunun reddi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Postoperatif kontrollerde herhangi bir komplikasyon ve nüks gözlenmemiştir. Hasta kısa sürede normal yaşamına dönmüştür ve 6. ayından itibaren çiftleştiği de sahibi tarafından bildirilmiştir.
