INTRODUCTION: Nomograms using the VBN model of women micturition allowed evaluating detrusor contractility (k) and urethral obstruction (U) from pressure-flow (PFs) recordings. While the model worked for most of the patients, an intriguing result, negative U value was observed for patients with high flow-low detrusor pressure (Qp voids). To explain that condition, our hypothesis was a weak urethral resistance to dilatation or increased expansibility (URD).
METHODS: The area offered to the fluid at each point of the urethra (its dilatation) is a function of the time depending difference between inside and outside pressures. In the VBN model, this function is sigmoid-like, the same for all women. For Qp voids, Qrecorded was more higher than it would be with the recorded pressure (VBN analysis). So, modeling allowed computing abnormally increased urethral wall expansibility (URD) whose consequence would be an increased flow.
RESULTS: Among 222 non-neurologic women referred for investigation of various lower urinary tract symptoms, 27 (mean age 66.3±11.4 y) had Qp void: Qmax=27±6mL/s; pdet.Qmax =7.5±4.7cm H2O. Mean URD value was .36±.67. Introduction of URD in a modeled analysis of urodynamic traces led to a good fitting between recorded and computed traces for the 27 Qp.
CONCLUSION: Mathematical modeling of micturition allows proposing an explanation of the unexpected observations of Qp voids. They would be due to abnormal urethral wall elasticity. Despite major challenges measurement of this elasticity would be the next step.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.
