PFD Week 2016-An Introduction to a New Technology for Measuring Urethral Pressures: 3-D High Resolution Manometry

An Introduction to a New Technology for Measuring Urethral Pressures: 3-D High Resolution Manometry

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video introduces a new technology called three-dimensional high-resolution manometry for measuring urethral pressures. This technology utilizes catheters with pressure sensors along their lengths to provide information about pressure direction and force over the span of the catheter. The video demonstrates the display of urethral and bladder pressures using this technology in a woman with stress incontinence. It also shows how the 3D pressure maps can be analyzed to identify patterns in pressure distribution. The video further discusses how this technology can be used to assess the effects of midurethral sling surgery on urethral pressures. Additionally, it mentions a preliminary analysis of pressure patterns in the female urethra using this technology. No credits were given in the video.
