This report details the recommendations of the Urodynamic Society on urodynamic procedures. It was the unanimous opinion of the members of the task force that the practicing urologist should have access to cystometry, voiding cystourethrography, and estimation of urinary flow rate and postvoid residual urine volume. Knowledge of these parameters coupled with history, physical examination, and appropriate laboratory data permits effective treatment of the vast majority of patients with lower urinary tract disorders. Urethral pressure profilmetry, sphincter electromyography, and combined multichannel urodynamic procedures are not necessary for the routine practice of urology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
