Is there a urodynamic equivalence to anterior urethra in the male?

R E Reid et al. Urology. 1984 Jan.

Abstract

To evaluate the role of the anterior urethra in the male in micturition dynamics, 9 patients with urethral strictures who were undergoing a two-stage Turner-Warwick urethroplasty were evaluated with flow and pressure flow measurements, pre- and post-second-stage urethroplasty. Any decrease in flow or increase in resistance after closure would suggest an anterior "urethral effect." None was found, indicating that the anterior urethra in the male functions as an inert conduit.
