title: Urethral pressure profile in prostatic surgery.
abstract: The urethral pressure profile was registered in 30 patients with benign hypertrophy of the prostate. In 6 patients the pressure profile measurement was repeated following prostatectomy and in 5 patients following transurethral resection of the prostate. Four patients with incontinence following prostatic surgery were also examined. Characteristic and reproducible profile patterns are demonstrated.
