| Popis: | Objectives To determine the mechanism of urinary continence after repair of post-traumatic posterior urethral strictures by perineal anastomotic urethroplasty. Methods Two groups of male patients were enrolled in this study. Group 1 consisted of 8 patients (mean age 31 years) who had undergone bulboprostatic anastomotic urethroplasty for strictures complicating a pelvic fracture urethral disruption. Group 2 consisted of 8 patients (mean age 32.5 years) with a normal urethra who were used as controls. All 16 patients underwent urethral pressure profilometry both at rest and with cough and hold maneuvers. Results In group I, urethral pressure profilometry showed much lower mean maximal urethral pressures and maximal urethral closure pressures, as well as a much shorter mean functional profile length than in group 2 (48 and 39 cm H2O versus 75 and 65 cm H2O and 2.4 versus 4 cm, respectively, P |
