AimsThe biomechanical properties of length adaptation and adjustable preload have been previously identified in detrusor smooth muscle in animal models. This in vitro study aims to show that human detrusor smooth muscle exhibits length adaptation and adjustable preload tension which could play an important role in both overactive bladder and detrusor underactivity.MethodsIn order to demonstrate length adaptation, human detrusor smooth muscle strips are stretched and contracted beyond an optimum length and then contracted three times at the previous optimum length to determine if maximum active tension could be re-established. To demonstrate adjustable preload (T-ap), human detrusor smooth muscle strips are subjected to a pre-defined loading-unloading (strain softening) sequence to reduce preload. Then, tissues are contracted and the sequence is repeated to determine if this active process restored preload.ResultsNine patients (average age, 62) provide tissue: 89% are men with urothelial carcinoma and a minority (22%) also have neurogenic bladder dysfunction. In the length adaptation protocol, contractions show progressive increases in active tension (P
