Chronic partial bladder outlet obstruction was created in nine mini-pigs by implanting a 6-7 mm ring around the proximal urethra. After a median obstruction period of 63 days, the ring was removed and after a recovery period of median 60 days the animals were sacrificed. Changes in muscle and connective tissue were assessed by unbiased, modern morphometry and biochemical analysis. After obstruction the results were as follows: (1) a 6-fold increase in bladder weight, (2) a 2.5-fold increase in smooth muscle cell size, (3) a 3-fold increase in smooth muscle cell number, (4) unchanged proportions between muscle and connective tissue, (5) unchanged hydroxyproline concentrations, (6) an 8-fold increase in total collagen content, (7) an increase in the ratio of type I/III collagen, and (8) a 7-8-fold increase in total content of type I and III collagen. All changes were markedly, though incompletely, reversed after recovery, except smooth muscle cell number and the ratio of type I/III collagen.
