Urodynamic Investigations

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Clinical Practice in Urology ((PRACTICE UROLOG))

Abstract

Urodynamic investigations are indicated whenever the results may improve the management of the patient. In Chap. 2 it has been shown how the same lower urinary tract symptoms may be indicative of a variety of pathophysiological processes. It therefore follows that assessment by symptoms alone has a high rate of error. Similarly, the shortcomings of endoscopy and intravenous urography in the investigation of voiding disorders have been discussed.
