Detrusor overactivity (DO) with impaired contractility (DOIC) is a mixed pattern of involuntary contraction and increased post-void residual urine volume (PVR) which occurs in stroke patients. Urodynamic study results obtained from patients with detrusor abnormalities and stroke were analyzed to identify the associations between various urodynamic parameters and DOIC. Between August 2003 and No...

INTRODUCTION Role of urodynamics prior to surgery of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is under constant debate. Demonstration of the presence of detrusor overactivity is the only aspect that has been emphasized in the literature so far. We believe that there are number of other factors which may influence the evaluation and in turn the choice of surgical management and prediction of outcome of...

Abstract Aim Urodynamic studies (UDS) are physiological measurements of voiding and storage function the lower urinary tract that commonly performed in clinical practice to investigate bothersome symptoms. Despite considerable efforts improve UDS, standardisation remains be challenging. This audit thus, presents a review current UDS referral process analysis details included on urodynamic reque...

AIM To evaluate the clinical outcomes of two different doses of BTX-A in patients with refractory idiopathic overactive bladder. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty nine patients with refractory idiopathic overactive bladder from 1/1/2008 till 30/3/2009 were evaluated in a tertiary care hospital. Patients were evaluated using urodynamic studies, voiding diary, UDI-6 and IIQ-7 questionnaires prior to ...

Urodynamic approach to the disorders of the urinary tract has been based on the knowledge of anatomy and neurophysiology of this abnormality. The development of this field included uroflowmetry, cystometry, urethral profilometry, and electromyogram of the external sphincter. In addition to these investigations new trends in urodynamic field were reviewed. With the advent of muscle biochemistry ...

PURPOSE We evaluated the urethrocystoscopic findings and results of urodynamic studies in elderly men with voiding complaints. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 492 consecutive patients with voiding complaints underwent a standardized screening program, including transrectal ultrasonography of the prostate, urodynamic investigations with pressure-flow study analysis and flexible urethrocystosc...

OBJECTIVE It has been claimed that urethral hypermobility and resting urethral pressure can largely explain stress incontinence in women. In this study we tried to replicate these findings in an unselected cohort of women seen for urodynamic testing, including as many potential confounders as possible. STUDY DESIGN This study is a retrospective analysis of data obtained from 341 women. They a...

Hypothesis / aims of study Urodynamic investigation used to be considered as a gold standard. However, recent studies have demonstrated that urinary incontinence symptoms had high positive predictive values, suggesting symptoms is helpful for diagnoses as well. We assess the role of urodynamic examination on the evaluation of non-neurological female urinary incontinence and compare with that of...

INTRODUCTION We assessed the effect of different positions of voiding on uroflowmetry findings in healthy men and in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten men with symptomatic BPH and 10 healthy men were enrolled in this study. Urodynamic study was done for each subject in 3 positions: standing, crouching (the position used in the Iranian style toilets), ...
