Role of Urodynamic Investigation

  • Chapter
Male Stress Urinary Incontinence

Part of the book series: Urodynamics, Neurourology and Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions ((UNPFD))

  • 807 Accesses

Abstract

Evaluation of postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is mostly based on clinical data, involving symptoms assessment, quality of life and incontinence severity through 24 h pad test. Endoscopy may be useful for the assessment of the external sphincter. Conversely, indications for urodynamic study are debated.
