Aims and Objectives
|
Urodynamic studies (UDS) are the gold standard methods to assess lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). ICS standard urodynamic testing includes uroflowmetry and PVR plus transurethral cystometry and pressure-flow study. UDS should be done when they can have consequences for the patient’s management. This task is however challenging requires a thorough clinical and urodynamic expertise. The present ICS Urodynamics Committee workshop will solely focus on clinical cases with urodynamic charts and explore how UDS change our decision-making in different types of non-neurogenic LUTD including female urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, overactive bladder, and male lower urinary tract symptoms.
Learning Objectives - To learn when the invasive UDS are indicated in men with LUTS and how they affect the treatment choice. To learn how to diagnose bladder outflow obstruction and assess bladder contractility
- To understand the interpretation of invasive UDS in women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. To learn how to diagnose urodynamic stress urinary incontinence.
- To learn the role of UDS in decision-making in overactive bladder and female LUTS. To understand how to diagnose detrusor overactivity and female bladder outflow obstruction and detrusor underactivity.
