Patients, methods, and results We reviewed the urodynamic diagnoses of 2845 women seen over 10 years (1981-90). The review included all patients with symptoms of urinary incontinence who were neurologically intact and had no history of surgery for incontinence. All patients were examined by filling and voiding cystometry, and the urodynamic diagnosis assigned to each patient was based on Intern...

PURPOSE To determine why community-dwelling women aged 80 years or over were referred for urodynamic evaluation despite their advanced age and which urodynamic diagnosis was made. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred consecutive females (80-93 years) were referred to our urodynamics outpatient clinic for evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) between 2005 and 2008. Clinical evaluation...

The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy and safety of nonantimuscarinic treatments for overactive bladder. Medline, Cochrane, and other databases (inception to April 2, 2014) were used. We included any study design in which there were 2 arms and an n > 100, if at least 1 of the arms was a nonantimuscarinic therapy or any comparative trial, regardless of number, if at least 2 arms...

OBJECTIVES In this preliminary study we report the development of the video urodynamic technique using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 6 women with genuine stress urinary incontinence, diagnosed by history and physical examination. Urodynamic examination was performed on multichannel equipment with the patient in the supine position. Coughing and Valsalva ma...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate micturition abnormalities in patients with transverse myelitis (TM) using urodynamic studies, and to record functional outcomes of these patients after the rehabilitation program. METHODS Forty-six patients with TM who attended the Ankara Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey between January 2000 and June 2005 were included ...

PURPOSE To compare several contemporary urodynamic criteria for diagnosing detrusor underactivity (DU) and estimate how well they coincide with each other. MATERIALS AND METHODS From our prospective urodynamic database we identified nonneurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) patients older than 60 years between 2003 and 2014. Patients were reclassified based on four and three contempor...

BACKGROUND It is suggested that the body posture during urination can influence urodynamic parameters in patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) to an extent approaching pharmacological interventions. In this article, the influence of body position during micturition on maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), voiding time (TQ) and post-void residual volume (PVR) in healthy males and patient...
