Popis:	The urethras of 164 women were measured 496 times. Three methods of measurement were compared. Direct and radiographic measurements with a Foley catheter resulted in specious and inconsistent impressions of shortening because the urethra telescoped over the catheter. The metallic bead chain method of mensuration was deemed most satisfactory because distortion of the urethra did not occur but measurement was approximate because of variable bead distribution; the error was estimated to be within the range of plus or minus 5 mm. No correlation between incidence, severity, or cure of stress urinary incontinence and a short urethra could be demonstrated.
