| Abstract: |
The purpose of urodynamic testing is to measure and record various physiological variables while the patient is experiencing those symptoms which make up the presenting complaint. This chapter on bladder outlet obstruction and impaired detrusor contractility in women is from an atlas of urodynamics that provides a comprehensive, detailed look at the indications, technology, and use of urodynamics in modern urologic practice. The chapter begins with a section on etiology and diagnosis, then present cases illustrations, accompanied by figures and black-and-white photographs of actual urodynamic tests. The authors note that urethral obstruction can be caused by prior surgery, prolapse, stricture, primary bladder neck obstruction, detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia (DESD), acquired voiding dysfunction, or urethral diverticulum; the two most common causes of genital prolapse and complications after anti-incontinence operations. From a urodynamic standpoint, the diagnosis of impaired detrusor contractility is characterized by a low flow and low detrusor pressure. 21 figures. 2 tables. 27 references. |
