ABSTRACT:
A method of treating urinary incontinence in a patient by: providing a pressure monitor probe comprising a catheter having a pressure responsive region and a distal portion, the pressure responsive region spaced a predetermined distance from the distal portion; inserting the pressure monitor probe into the patient's urethra such that the distal portion is positioned in the patient's bladder adjacent the UVJ, thereby positioning the pressure responsive region of the catheter within the urethra a predetermined distance from the UVJ; and surgically modifying the pressure applied against the urethra while monitoring the pressure applied against the urethra using the probe. An intraurethral pressure monitor probe and an intraurethral pressure monitoring assembly are also provided.
