Intraoperative profilometry measurements were done on 28 patients during various types of urethropexy to determine whether useful information could be provided to the operating surgeon. Successful Burch, Marshall-Marchetti and Stamey-Pereyra procedures resulted in a 50 per cent increase in urethral length. Closure pressure increases were noted only with the Stamey-Pereyra procedure (plus 49 per cent). Intraoperative profilometry measurements were considered to be informative and useful, particularly during the Stamey-Pereyra urethropexy in which case suture ties could be regulated to provide desired urethral elongation and closure pressure changes.

To explore the application of modified urethral separation method in artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and its influence on the results of urethral pressure profilometry. A prospective collection of clinical data was conducted on 25 patients with stress urinary incontinence who underwent modified urethral separation method in AUS implantation and underwent urethral pressure profilometry in Beijing Hospital, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University and the Second Hospital Affiliated to Tianjin Medical University from March 2019 to June 2023. The improved urethral separation method was to borrow part of the white membrane tissue of the cavernous body while freeing the dorsal side of the cavernous body of the urethra.

Feasibility of measuring urethral pressure during female midurethral slings: Case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

July 2020

Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.

Rationale: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) refers to the involuntary leakage of urine when abdominal pressure increases. Midurethral slings (MUS) have become the main surgical method for treating SUI, but no quantitative standard for the degree of sling tightness during operation exists. We achieved this quantitative measurement using ambulatory urodynamic equipment.

To investigate the changes of maximum urethral pressure (MUP) and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) after artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation and their prognostic value. The clinical data of patients who had undergone AUS implantation in multiple medical centers between March and July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Data of urethral pressure profilometry, pad usage, related scores and complications related to surgery were collected and compared.

Background: Artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation is currently the gold standard for treating moderate and severe urinary incontinence. Currently, cuffs are chosen based on the surgeon's experience, and adjusting cuff tightness is crucial. The T-DOC air-charged catheter has not been proven to be inferior to traditional catheters.

Quantification of the Contact Area at the Head-Stem Taper Interface of Modular Hip Prostheses.

PLoS One

May 2016

Institute of Biomechanics, TUHH Hamburg University of Technology, 21073 Hamburg, Germany; Faculty of Life Sciences, HAW Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Ulmenliet 20, 21033 Hamburg, Germany.

Corrosion of modular taper junctions of hip implants may be associated with clinical failure. Taper design parameters, as well as the intraoperatively applied assembly forces, have been proposed to affect corrosion. Fretting corrosion is related to relative interface shear motion and fluid ingress, which may vary with contact force and area.
