    Author: Smith JC, Dunn M, Ardran GM.
    Journal: Eur Urol; 1975; 1(2):75-7. PubMed ID: 1233171.
    Abstract:
    Studies of bladder flow during hydrostatic distention using radioactive clearance techniques and progressive diminution in blood flow as bladder pressure rises. At systolic blood pressure blood flow is minimal. Prolonged hydrostatic distention has been used as a method of therapy in those patients with urgency of urine and urge incontinence with satisfactory early clinical results and impressive changes in the cystometrogram.
