title: Directional difference of urethral pressure profile in anterior, posterior and lateral components of canine urethra.
abstract: 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.
