In this brief survey some aspects of present and future possibilities for intraluminal pressure recordings in the urogenital tract are considered. It is emphasized that present water-filled catheter-manometer systems are afflicted with several biotechnical disadvantages. Although the micro-transducers and centre-hole catheters seem to be superior to conventional pressure recording systems, they ought to be further improved. Feed-back pressure transducers, electronic compensation, and micro-manometers could be realistic alternatives for pressure recordings in the urogential tract in the future. Some results from pressure recordings obtained with different measuring systems are presented and discussed.
