Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a model for low urethral pressure incontinence using dogs and investigate the roles of different nerves on urethral function through surgeries.
- Nineteen healthy Foxhounds were divided into two groups, each undergoing selective neurectomy (nerve removal) and ovariohysterectomy (spay surgery), with urethral pressure tests performed before and after the procedures.
- Results showed a significant decline in leak point pressure (LPP) and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) after the surgeries, indicating that both the hypogastric and pudendal nerves impact urinary control, which may inform treatments for urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women.
