Cystotomy is mainly performed for the removal bladder stones or urethroliths. Due to the relatively narrow urethral diameter in male dogs, obstructive urethroliths are quite frequent. Often they can be flushed back into the bladder through urohydropropulsion.
In case bladder surgery is the only procedure that needs to be performed, it suffices to open the abdomen caudally only. In this video a cystotomy through a caudal (parapreputial) celiotomy is performed. Obviously there are also some complications associated with this abdominal approach, but most of them can be avoided through good technique.
