| It addresses both mechanisms by achieving coaptation of the proximal urethra and repositioning of the sphincteric unit. |
| Accompanying sensory and sphincteric symptoms are also common. |
| Note that the terms pharyngealized, epiglottalized, strident, and sphincteric are sometimes used interchangeably. |
| Progestational hormones also affect the force of contraction of the sphincteric muscle and various gastrointestinal hormones may do so as well. |
| Most cases of incontinence are a result of intraoperative damage to the native urinary sphincteric mechanisms, particularly the intrinsic sphincter component. |
