AbstractUrinary bladder obstruction has been the subject of numerous clinical and experimental studies. The most common experimental model for outlet obstruction requires the surgical creation of a bladder outlet obstruction and then determining the effects after specific periods of time. These studies have demonstrated that the bladder responds to obstruction with rapid and significant changes in bladder structure and function. Although much important information comes from experimental surgical obstruction, this model is not appropriate for the study of the initial effects of outlet obstruction. The in‐vitro whole bladder model (rabbit) can be utilized to study the initial effects of outlet obstruction on the physical characteristics of bladder emptying. This model has the advantage of one being able to have complete control of the type and magnitude of obstructio
