Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show videourodynamics combined with contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography, which has been
used at our institution for four years now. This method does not use ionizing radiation and is highly sensitive for vesicoureteral refl ux.
During examination, we can simultaneously monitor function of the lower urinary tract, the presence and degree of refl ux, intravesical
pressure and the volume at which refl ux occurs, all of these being important for planning of treatment and providing prognosis.
We analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this method compared to standard x-ray, and describe the technique of
examination.
