  • Clinical urodynamic assessments.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Detailed elucidation of the striated urethral sphincter's anatomical components.
  • Comprehensive understanding of the neurophysiological control mechanisms governing sphincter function.
  • Demonstration of the sphincter's role in clinical conditions through urodynamic evaluation.

    • Conclusions:

    • The collective data from anatomical, neurophysiological, and urodynamic studies have significantly improved the comprehension of the striated urethral sphincter.
    • This enhanced knowledge empowers urologists with a better grasp of conditions associated with striated sphincter dysfunction.
