Cystometry is an efficient technique to measure bladder function of small animals in vivo. The bladder is continuously infused at rates controlled through an intravesical catheter, whereas the urethra is left free for micturition. This allows for repetitive filling and emptying of the bladder, while intravesical pressure and voided volume are recorded.

Approximately 3-8 million people in the United States suffer from interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), a debilitating condition characterized in part by pelvic pain. In order to study nervous system contributions to the condition, a physiological model of urinary bladder pain is used in mice and rats.
FAQs
The technique combines careful tissue separation, bladder mobilization, and controlled retraction to reduce obstruction around the upper bladder. These actions improve the surgeon’s line of sight without treating exposure as simple displacement. Maintaining deliberate control during each maneuver helps preserve adjacent structures while revealing the anatomy needed for accurate assessment and operative planning.
Controlled retraction improves visibility while limiting unnecessary disturbance of tissues near the bladder. Its value lies in balancing access with preservation: the operative field must become sufficiently open for anatomical assessment, but surrounding structures should remain protected. This balance supports more precise work when the bladder lies close to other pelvic or lower abdominal organs.
A successful exposure allows clinicians to examine how the bladder dome relates to nearby organs and surrounding tissues. That information can clarify the anatomy encountered during a pelvic or lower abdominal procedure and help determine where access is appropriate. The resulting view supports operative planning by making the target area and its neighboring structures easier to distinguish.
Exposure quality depends on how effectively tissue separation, bladder mobilization, and retraction are coordinated. The approach must also account for the bladder’s relationship with adjacent structures, because excessive or poorly directed movement could compromise the intended view. When these elements are controlled together, clinicians can obtain a more unobstructed field for visualization and precise intervention.
The process begins with separating tissues that obstruct access, followed by mobilizing the bladder as needed to improve its position within the operative field. Controlled retraction then maintains the view while adjacent structures are preserved. These steps are performed to obtain direct visualization of the dome and its surrounding anatomy, supporting the planned pelvic or lower abdominal procedure.
Clinicians may use this approach during pelvic and lower abdominal procedures that require visualization or treatment near the upper bladder. It can assist with operative planning, clarify the relationship between the bladder and nearby organs, and provide access to a targeted area. Its practical contribution is improved anatomical visibility during procedures where the bladder’s position affects surgical precision.
