Abstract

Urodynamics is a method for evaluation of urinary tract function, specially lower urinary tract. Lower urinary tract is a unique functional entity consisted of urinary bladder, sphincteric mechanism and urethra. Their main function is storage of urine, voiding and continence. Urodynamics is used for evaluation of all this functions. Urodynamics is performed as adjunct to the basic clinical evaluation. The most frequently used methods are uroflow, cistometry, and urethral profilometry. Uroflow represent urinary flow during micturation. Cistometry is used for measurement of pressures during storage and expulsion of the urine. Urethral profilometry measured urethral pressure and show data about patient’s continency. In this review article we present basic information about urodynamic tests with clinical examples.
