title: Transurethral sphincteric stimulation.
abstract: Electrical stimulation of the external urethral sphincter is a valuable aid in teaching sphincterotomies and transurethral procedures. It helps accurately locate the external urethral sphincter which should be transected totally during a sphincterotomy and left intact in a transurethral procedure.
