J Urol 1999, 162:204–212. This study provides experimental evidence linking urethral afferent activity to the modulation of reflex detrusor contractility. The authors’ findings imply a mechanism for the correction of DI via surgical treatment of stress incontinence, and emphasize the key role that urethral innervation may play in ultimate bladder function.
