Abstract

A decrease in voiding pressures because of decreased outflow resistance has been demonstrated in 8 males, and conversely an increase in voiding pressures because of increased outflow resistance has been demonstrated in 7 females undergoing surgery. These changes occur in the early postoperative period.
