Abstract
In female children, a correlation of urethrographlc appearances with the distribution of static pressures in the urethra has shown that during micturition the most important factor controlling the rate of flow of urine is a pressure applied to the lumen of the urethra. The caliber of the urethra is of minor importance and only marked narrowing is likely to be functionally significant. The details of 12 cases were given to illustrate these conclusions and to demonstrate how a wide variety of urethrographic appearances can be associated with a uniform distribution of static pressure in the urethra.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
