This is any condition in which the main influencing factor is partial bladder outlet obstruction, an experimental constriction of the neck of the urinary bladder to restrict urine flow and model changes that occur in clinical bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Partial bladder outlet obstruction may be achieved surgically by passing a catheter through the urethra into the bladder, suturing around the neck of the bladder, and removing the catheter.
