Purpose: This trial is an experimental approach to the possible causes of continence and voiding problems after urethra sparing radical cystectomy and orthotopic bladder substitution in women.Materials and Methods: Between January 1996 and January 1999 we included 24 mongrel female dogs in this 4-phase study of 6 dogs each. The effects of autonomic denervation of the urethra (phase 1) and urethral transection just distal to the bladder neck (phase 2) on the urethral pressure profile were recorded. In phase 3 the effects of autonomic denervation, urethral transection and pharmacological manipulation of the denervated transected urethra on the urethral pressure profile were studied in succession. In phase 4 the effects of pudendal nerve transection and pharmacological blockade were recorded. In the 12 phases 2 and 3 dogs the transected urethra was re-anastomosed to the bladder neck. Acute experiments were repeated after 2 and 6 months, urethrocystoscopy was done and post-void residual urine was estimated. Two of the latter dogs were sacrificed 6 months after the acute experiment and the urethras were histopathologically examined.Results: Autonomic denervation resulted in a 46% to 48% decrease in mean maximal pressure in the proximal urethra in phases 1 and 3 (p
