A porcine model of bladder outlet obstruction incorporating radio‐telemetered cystometry

To present a novel porcine model of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) with a standardized bladder outlet resistance and real‐time ambulatory radio‐telemetered cystometry, as BOO is a common condition with many causes in both adults and children, with significant morbidity and occasional mortality, but attempts to model this condition in many animal models have the fundamental problem of standardising the degree of outlet resistance.
