Abstract
Electromyography of the urethral striated sphincter gives information on the function of this muscle which consists of two structures: the intraurethral and periurethral sphincter. The types of electrode used to perform EMG of this sphincter are reviewed. The EMG findings of the peri- and intraurethral sphincters with empty bladder at rest and during maximal voluntary contraction are given as well as during bladder filling. Assessment of the urethral sphincter is described in different pathological situations. Methods and results of evoked potentials and nerve conduction measurements are also described in normal and pathological conditions.
