Damage to the bladder neck alters autonomous activity and its sensitivity to cholinergic agonists

To identify and describe changes to the motor component of the motor/sensory system, which contributes to sensation during the filling phase of the micturition cycle, as a result of surgically induced bladder pathology, i.e. damage to the bladder neck and outlet obstruction.
