Directional difference of urethral pressure profile in anterior, posterior and lateral components of canine urethra.
The urethral pressure profile (UPP) was recorded in anterior, posterior, and right and left lateral portions of the canine urethra using a newly designed catheter with only one eye around the circumference of the tip for UPP recording. Our single-eye catheter made it possible to measure UPP in the four aspects separately and confirmed that there was a directional difference in UPP.
