The Role of Striated Sphincter Muscle in Urethral Closure Under Stress Conditions: An Experimental Study
1987
Decisive for urethral closure under stress is an increase in intraurethral pressure. This pressure increase is significantly affected by urethral tonus, passive pressure transmission and reflex pressure transmission. Approximately half of the urethral tonus is produced by the striated sphincter muscles (Rud et al. 1981; Tanagho 1979).
Descending Simultaneous Measurement of the Urinary Bladder and Sphincter Pressures during Continuous Perfusion of the Urethra after Operations for In…
1973
Descending simultaneous measurement of bladder and sphincter pressures with continuous urethral perfusion (Heidenreich and Beck) is a method we employ to determine, and plot graphically, urethral resistance before and after surgery for incontinence in males and females in order to obtain an objective standard against which to assess postoperative results.
Comparison between Two Different Two-Stage Transperineal Approaches to Treat Urethral Strictures or Bladder Neck Contracture Associated with Severe U…
2012
Introduction.The recurrence of urethral/bladder neck stricture after multiple endoscopic procedures is a rare complication that can follow prostatic surgery and its treatment is still controversial.Material and Methods.We retrospectively analyzed our data on 17 patients, operated between September 2001 and January 2010, who presented severe urinary incontinence and urethral/bladder neck stricture after prostatic surgery and failure of at least four conservative endoscopic treatments. Six patients underwent a transperineal urethrovesical anastomosis and 11 patients a combined transperineal suprapubical (endoscopic) urethrovesical anastomosis. After six months the patients that presented comp…
Surgical Anatomy for Radical Prostatectomy
2007
Exact neuroanatomical knowledge of the male and female pelvis has become increasingly important to both anatomists and pelvic surgeons (bowel surgery, urology, gynaecology). Anatomical discoveries are often the basis for the development of new operating methods. In addition, functional results after operative procedures have become the target of detailed anatomical scrutiny.
