Electromyographic and gas urethral pressure profile.
A new technique for recording urethral pressure profile is described. The method consists of a simultaneous combined electromyographic and gas urethral pressure profile recording. Normal and pathologic patterns are described. The method provides information on the correlation between intraurethral pressure and activity in the periurethral striated musculature and has proved useful in the assessment of neurologic dysfunction of the urethra.
