Urethral Closure Mechanism Caused by Prostate Rotation During Abdominal Pressure in Men: A Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Key Points

• The aim is to examine the mechanism of urethral closure associated with prostate rotation during abdominal pressure.
• Conducted as a non-interventional observational study.
• Participants provided written informed consent and ethical approval was obtained.
• Specialized MRI protocols were used alongside standard clinical imaging.
• Demonstrated a link between prostate rotation and urethral closure during increased abdominal pressure.
• Provided new insights into how prostate dynamics affect urethral function.
