Abstract: | To evaluate the function of the constrictor urethrae of dogs that had urinary incontinence and were diagnosed as having ectopic ureter, the urethral pressure profile (UPP) was measured by means of a microchip catheter transducer. The UPPs (14.5 +/- 3.3 mmHg) of the four dogs suffering from ectopic ureter were much lower (p<0.001) than the UPPs of clinically healthy female dogs (35.3 +/- 5.7 mmHg). In the cases of ectopic ureter, it was shown that the UPP was lowered, and it was suggested that this would lead to the expression of urinary incontinence. |
