Abstract

A urinary apparatus (10) includes a catheter system (40) for pressurizing either a bladder cavity (18) or a urethral canal (14) within a female urinary system (12) and an endoscope device (60) for observing a urethral sphincter muscle (16) within the female urinary system (12) for assessing the sling tension of an implant support adapted to restore female urinary continence.
