Rotational differences in urethral pressure in incontinent women. 1985

R L Vereecken, and J Das, and M Cornelissen

Urethral pressure profile measurements are made by means of microtransducers at four different positions in the urethra (anterior, posterior, left and right side). The maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) is always highest in the anterior position in stress as well as in urge incontinent women. The functional urethral length shows no differences in the four positions. In all positions the recorded pressures and urethral length are higher in the urge incontinent group than in the stress incontinent group. A decrease of MUCP with age is observed in both groups.
