✦ Synopsis

A pressurekross-sectional area probe was used for measurement of related values of pressure (Pura) and cross-sectional area (CA) at static circumstances in the resting urethra in 30 healthy female$. Measurements were performed at the bladder neck, in the high-pressure zone and distally in the urethra. From the two variables urethral elastance and hysteresis were calculated.

The mean urethral elastance (i.e., dP,,,/dCA) was found to be of the order of 1 cm H20/rnm2 all along the urethra. No correlation could be established between the elastance and age or parity. The mean hysteresis was of the order of 20-25 crn H20 along the urethra. Urethral hysteresis appeared to be a time-dependent phenomenon.
