Experimental investigation of the structural behavior of equine urethra

Dysfunctions of the lower urinary tract are present in both men and women [2],[3],[22],[26] and their social impact is relevant [10],[29],[31],[44]. Surgical repair procedures supported by biomedical devices are nowadays available [8],[15],[41]. Nevertheless, data regarding the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and structures of the urethral duct have been poorly reported, determining a lack of interpretation about the function of the devices themselves [4],[6],[17],[21],[23],[27],[32],[39].
