Urodynamics is one of the subdisiplines of urology. According to basic principles and methods of fluid mechanics and electrophysiology, urodynamics is used to test pressure of the urinary tract in order to know the function of urinary filling and voiding as well as the pathophysiologic disorders of some voiding dysfunction diseases. Urodynamics can help us diagnose some diseases, provide essential reference for treatment, and predict the therapeutic efficacy.
The subject of urodynamics is dysfunction of lower urinary tract for all reasons, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stricture, male and female incontinence, neurogenic bladder, voiding dysfunction caused by diabetes mellitus and so on. Now we have been close to the advanced level of diagnosis and therapy in the world, and have published several articles. Welcome to visit us here.
The urodynamic examinations includes test of uroflowmetry, cystometry, urethral pressure studies, pressure-flow studies, electrophysiologic studies, cystometry-uroflowmetry studies and so on. According to this, we can objectively assess the filling function, the voiding function and the situation of urethra and bladder during urinary filling and voiding. And we can provide objective evidence of the diagnosis, treatment, and curative effect of all kinds of urinary voiding dysfunctions to urologists, obstetrician-gynecologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeon, pediatrists and so on.
The indications of urodynamic practice are: determining the diagnosis and differential diagnosis for urinary system diseases, for example, benign prostatic hyperplasia, evaluating the necessary of operation, analyzing the post-operation complications; diagnosis of urethra stricture; analyzing the reasons of urinary voiding dysfunction; diagnosis of incontinence; dysfunction of bladder and urethra caused by all kinds of diseases such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, cervical spondylosis, lumber disc herniation, spinal injury, spinal tumors and so on.
We bought German Wiest urodynamic armamentarium in the end of 2002. According to the procedure of International Continence Society, we have examined about two thousand of patients in all over our country. And we have got a lot of experience, made a regular and satisfying procedure to have a good contribution on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
