Vaginal pressure as an index of intra-abdominal pressure during urodynamic evaluation.
Vaginal pressure was measured using balloon catheters in 20 patients and open-ended fluid-filled catheters in another 21. The results showed excellent correlation between vaginal, vesical and rectal pressures in response to changes in abdominal pressure.
