Catheter-Free Urodynamics Testing: Current Insights and Clinical Potential
Benoît Vogt
Abstract:Lower urinary tract dysfunction not only interferes with the health-related quality of life of patients but may also lead to acute kidney injury and infections. To assess the bladder, urodynamic studies (UDS) have been implemented but the use of catheters leads to discomfort for the patient.

Numerous types of potential catheter-fre… Show more
