Biomechanical Interpretation of Clinical Cystometrogram Wim A van Duyl<p>After a short history of clinical consideration of biomechanical properties of bladder function and incontinence, standard clinical mechanical interpretation of cystometrograms is discussed. The interpretation is reconsidered according to a modified biomechanical model and published experimental results related to the model. The objective is to promote clinical evaluation of cystometrograms according to the presented model. A crucial aspect of the model is that actual total bladder volume V is separated into an elastic part V<sub>E</sub> related to actual detrusor pressure p<sub>d</sub> and a contractile part V<sub>R</sub> with zero detrusor pressure. An argument to apply this model is that V<sub>E</sub>/V<sub>R</sub> depends on the history of elongations and stimulated or spontaneous contractions, and makes the pressure-volume relation not characteristic of a particular bladder.&nbsp;</p> Archive of Urological Research - Peertechz Publications 2026-07-23 Review Article https://doi.org/10.17352/aur.000057 en Copyright © Wim A van Duyl et al.
