The infusion pressure technique of Whitaker was employed at 4 and 7 months after operation to assess ureteral function. The pressure flow data indicated that ureteral function was best when PGA sutures were used to accomplish the anastomosis. The results of this study suggest that the infusion pressure technique is useful in evaluating ureteral wound healing. © 1982 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byBartone F and Adickes E (2018) Chitosan: Effects on Wound Healing in Urogenital Tissue: Preliminary ReportJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 5 Part 2, (1134-1137), Online publication date: 1-Nov-1988.El-Mahrouky A, McElhaney J, Bartone F and King L (2018) In Vitro Comparison of the Properties of Polydioxanone, Polyglycolic Acid and Catgut Sutures in Sterile and Infected UrineJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 4 Part 1, (913-915), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1987.Edlich R, Rodeheaver G and Thacker J (2018) Considerations in the Choice of Sutures for Wound Closure of the Genitourinary TractJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 3, (373-379), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1987.
