Non-invasive urodynamic measurements: towards clinical practice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aims of course/workshop What if you could get urodynamic information without doing invasive urodynamics? How about more information than from uroflowmetry, non-invasively? In this workshop we aim to present some of the newest non-invasive technologies and techniques which offer some of the important information usually yielded from invasive urodynamic studies. We will discuss how their diagnostic value compares to urodynamic studies, and to what extent they can be implemented in the clinical environment. Techniques which may become clinically useful in future will also be discussed. We welcome discussion with clinicians about realistic strategies to integrate these novel technologies into clinical practice.

INVESTIGATE-I (INVasive Evaluation before Surgical Treatment of Incontinence Gives Added Therapeutic Effect?): a mixed-methods study to assess the feasibility of a future randomised controlled trial of invasive urodynamic testing prior to surgery for stress urinary incontinence in women.
BACKGROUND The position of invasive urodynamic testing in the diagnostic pathway for urinary incontinence (UI) is unclear. Systematic reviews have called for further trials evaluating clinical utility, although a preliminary feasibility study was considered appropriate. OBJECTIVES To inform the decision whether or not to proceed to a definitive randomised trial of invasive urodynamic testing ...
