Summary— One hundred male spinal cord injured patients have now undergone anteromedian (12 o'clock) external urethral sphincterotomy alone or in combination with transurethral incision or resection of the bladder neck. The functional effect of this procedure has been documented by voiding cystourethrogram and urodynamic studies. The morbidity and clinical results including blood loss and loss of reflex erections are reviewed. The short‐term clinical results suggest that this is the best of currently available techniques to lower external urethral sphincter resistance.
