Abstract

Urodynamic testing is a widely used modality for evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms with minimal morbidity to the patient. We report a case of strangulated urethral prolapse in a 74-year-old female that occurred right after urodynamic evaluation. The urethral prolapse was managed conservatively and the patient fully recovered without the need for surgical intervention.
