Computer analysis of micturition parameters and accuracy of uroflowmeter.

Several micturition parameters in healthy volunteers have been studied with digital computer analysis. The accuracy of the uroflowmeter has also been tested. Total voiding time, average flow rate, maximum flow rate, volume and time at maximum flow rate are all the function of volume voided. The first half of urinary volume is rapidly evacuated in the first one third of the total voiding time, and the rest in the remaining two thirds of the voiding period. When the constant stream hits at the center of the disk, the response of the flowmeter is fairly good. Once the urinary stream is accelerated and/or hits at the edge of the disk, the response is not reliable.

Sphincterotomy and micturition parameters: quantitative analysis of sphincterotomy in 24 patients.

The effect of transurethral external sphincterotomy, performed in 24 patients, was evaluated quantitatively on micturition parameters and blood loss. The total urethral resistance, residual urine, and the maximum and average urinary flow rates were all improved with a statistically significant difference (p less than 0.01). Of 7 patients with indwelling catheter, all but one became catheter free. Erythrocytes and hemoglobin decreased 6% in number and 9% in weight, respectively. Moderate degree of stress incontinence were noted in 15 patients (63%).
