The underlying cause is not yet fully understood and may be associated with low urethral compliance. The purpose of this study is to non-invasively evaluate the urethral compliance in a rabbit model. Ten male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into a control group and a urethroplasty group for tubularized incised plate urethroplasty. Seven weeks post-operatively, ex vivo urethral compliance was evaluated using both the Jesus invasive measurement and the non-invasive method. The Jesus measurement involved measuring urethral volume and pressure by air insufflation, and the non-invasive method utilized ultrasound and uroflowmetry to assess the urethral anterior-posterior diameter and flow data, respectively. Curve regression analysis was applied to calculate urethral compliance. Curve regression analysis revealed that the median urethral compliance measured by non-invasive method in the control group was 0.247 (0.241, 0.257) mm\u2022s\/ml, and it was 0.269 (0.263, 0.270) mm\u2022s\/ml in the urethroplasty group, with no significant difference between the two groups. The Jesus method indicated median urethral compliance was 0.141 (0.137, 0.149) ml\/cmH<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O for the control group and 0.182 (0.173, 0.192) ml\/cmH<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O for the urethroplasty group, showing no significant statistical difference. In the rabbit model, urinary flow rate and anterior-posterior diameter serve as non-invasive indicators that can effectively reflect urethral compliance, and TIP surgery has no significant impact on urethral compliance. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-025-11701-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,20]],"date-time":"2025-07-20T12:11:50Z","timestamp":1753013510000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Non-invasive quantitative assessment of urethral compliance in rabbit tubularized incised plate model using ultrasound and uroflowmetry"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Hongbo","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Ru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ciyuan","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qibo","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guangjie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weifeng","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lizhe","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiang","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"11701_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"482","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2019.06.027","volume":"76","author":"X Yu","year":"2019","unstructured":"Yu, X. et al.
