Intenal Medicine:Four Cases of Lowered Urethral Pressure in Canine Ectopic Ureter

[摘要] References(9)Cited-By(2)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.
